Hi there, I have a question regarding the implementation of filetype plugins. The README.txt for the ftplugin directory states the following:
> The default filetype plugin files contain settings that 95% of the > users will want to use. They do not contain personal preferences, > like the value of 'shiftwidth'. In the Ruby community, it is a generally agreed convention to always indent with two spaces (no tabs). You have to try hard to find real code that isn't indented that way. So, if 95% or more of the users will have to set shiftwidth=2 and expandtab in their personal configuration to use Vim for programming Ruby, is that something that belongs in the official ftplugin? Is there some kind of guideline for this? I see 5 occurrences of setting shiftwidth in my /usr/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin. Here's the discussion for the Ruby ftplugin that prompted this question: https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby/pull/48 Regards, Robin Stocker -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
