I tried setting ts=2 for an html file. That worked fine, but I often use '<' and '>' to indent or dedent blocks of code. When I tried it under ts=2, the columns moved over eight spaces, achieved by adding four tabs! What's up with that? I just want one tab to be inserted, and for it to take up two spaces.
tab-stops and shift-width are independent, the latter controlling the amount of indent/exdent for "<" and ">" operations. I find it helpful to always set 'ts' and 'sw' to the same value:
:set ts=2 sw=2 :help 'shiftwidth' -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
