yes, the spaces remain.
If it does, you may

resort to adding a placeholder comment, like:
function MyFunc()
{
/* TODO: code needed here */
};
you mean just add several character using a quick-key map? but then
everytime i type the code before "/* TODO: code needed here */", i
have to delete it.
can i change the default behavior of vim not to delete the indent?
The idea of the comment shown above was to leave something to remind you that
you had to come back later, since, as you said, you want to leave the indent
there "for future use"; also, the comment would be sure to stay in place even
if the "bare indent" didn't. But if just adding, let's say, a period, then
backspacing over it, makes the indent remain, then you don't have to type a
lengthy comment unless you need it.
You may even try (untested)
:inoremap <CR> <CR>.<BS>
Note: Next time, please use "Reply to all" rather than "Reply to sender",
unless you're straying off-topic.
Best regards,
