I seem to remember using variable tabstops at one point - but it might have been an older (~20-25 years ago), that I used for a while, not sure.
I seem to remember being able to something along the lines of : vim:ts=17,34,51,55 or # vim:sts=17,34,51,55[:et] I'm phrasing it as a modeline, since that would only make sense -- as it would be a 'file-specific setting'. Where tabs are set to the above columns, with the difference in the last two numbers taken as the 'tab-repeat' stop for any tabs above 55 (so 59, 63, 67...) 'cept I can't figure out how to get vim to accept such a line or encoding. Is there a special flag to set vim for file-specific columns? Thanks! -linda (just wanted to add a modeline at the bottom of an 'fstab' so I'd stop messing up the system-formatted tabulation columns. Some of these pre-formatted sys-config files have their own idea of "proper" columns -- must be historical or something). # vim:et:sts=21,42,53,75,77 Also, ur, well... Will ask in a separate email a 2nd Q that's 'bugged' me. :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
