You are cheating by trying to align across several levels of logical nesting. It's obvious that there is no flexible method of alignment in that situation, today. You would need a meta-tab or something similar if you wanted to achieve this in a text interface. I still maintain that this is not needed in the real world as maintaining perfect alignment of behind-code comments is not practicable with more than two or three level of indentation, anyway. _Especially_ with sw=8 which you seem to prefer. > There's *no* way to use a variant tab size and retain a reasonable > output.

The case you constructed serves as justification to force everyone touching your code to adhere to your rules. Not a nice thing to do at best, actively harming collaboration at best. Point in case, the Perl guidelines suggest sw=4 using soft tabs. What would happen if you edited those files and saved them? Even if you were not to change any of the existing lines, you would mess up the file for everyone not using sw=8. Also, please keep in mind that many people code in Terminals that are 80 chars wide. Forcing them to use sw=8 is just plain unfair. Richard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
