Hello,
I am using VIM on RH 9.0, is it possible to have automatic indent for
linux bash "if then ... fi"? If yes, could you please explain how?
Thank you.
Jim
1. To activate $VIMRUNTIME/indent/sh.vim (and also indent scripts for other
filetypes), make sure that your vimrc contains one of
filetype plugin indent on
or
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
or
runtime vimrc_example.vim
2. A file with extension .sh will be recognised as a shell script. Also an
existing file whose first line is #!/bin/bash
3. To have Vim recognise a new file with no .sh extension as a shell script,
either:
3a. Enter #!/bin/bash then reload the file with :w followed with :e
or
3b. :setlocal ft=sh
Best regards,
Tony.
