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.

With the mapping above, you don't have to add a character then delete it: you
hit the Return key, and Vim (with 'nopaste') maps it to "hit Return, hit dot,
hit backspace", i.e., the insertion-deletion game is played automatically
whenever you hit Return in Insert mode. What more do you want?
...or at least that's how I think it works.
Best regards,
Tony.
