I don't think that's it. The "problem" (which I consider a
feature), can be illustrated like this:
Start vim and set the following:
:set ai
:set nu
:set list
Now type "hello" on the first line, indented by four spaces, and hit
Enter. You should see this:
1 hello$
2 $
^
cursor is here, in column 5
Now hit Enter again. You should see this:
1 hello$
2 $
3 $
^
cursor is here, in column 5, but the indentation has been
removed from line 2
but the OP wants to see this:
1 hello$
2 $
3 $
with line 2 still containing the indentation even though there is
nothing else on that line.
That's my understanding of the question, anyway. I don't know the
answer, though.

Gary
