There is a "variable tabstops" patch by Matthew Winn; it's listed on the Vim
patches page (http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/web/vim-patches):
I notice on this page at the moment there is a THIS IS GOING TO BREAK
SOON notice from Google. Is there any replacement page somewhere that
takes over the role of this page, or plans for one?
10. Variable tabstops
Author: Matthew Winn
Status: alpha
Site: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/msg/039495cd5b0f4fd0
For use with the patch: AutoVariableTabstop command and function
Set different widths for each tab stop.
I can't maintain it any more because my development system died after
more than a decade of continuous use. Lech Lorens kindly took it over
and fixed it up after another patch broke it. It was stable last time
I used it and reliably passed all its own tests.
I just went to endeavour to pick up the 'current patch', which I believe
is in vim_extended: http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_extended.git
I notice there is mention there that this repository is to be
discontinued. Are there plans for a replacement for this?
I haven't used it personally, but it surely sounds interesting. If some people
try this out now and report back positive news, maybe Bram will still include it
in 7.3 or at least consider it for the following release.
I hope so. The reason I originally wrote it was because it was because
I had some free time and decided to tackle something on the TODO list.
I use it often, and it's great, but I have noticed that it does have a
bug or two. I suspect the way the options work needs a little bit of a
redesign. I will try to look in more detail some time soon and get my
hands dirty to fix it. I'd love to see it incorporated into the next Vim
release if we can manage it.
Cheers,
Ben.
