My issue with tabbing is that since actual source coding starts in card column 12 and tabs generally occur every 4 columns there after (16, 20, 24, 28, etc.). The problem is that, since the cursor starts in column 1 instead of column 0 and assuming a tab width of 4 columns, pressing the tab key advances the cursor from column 1 to column 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, etc.
This tabbing behavior causes me to tab “almost” to where I need to be then add sufficient individual spaces to get to where I need to be. Backspacing causes a similar action to be used namely backspacing (which moves back an amount equivalent to a tab width) then once again adding sufficient individual spaces to get to where I need to be. It would seem that if the tab action was 0-relative instead of 1 the tabbing activity would result in cursor arriving at the desired column without additional space characters. Question 1: How do I change the cobol.vim file to start tabbing from a 0-relative position instead of the current 1-relative location? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
