Hi all, I am sure Vim has an option for this, so do please point me towards whichever documentation I need to read. :)
Quite often, I have: :set tw=74 Which is common for most text files and especially so when composing email. Vim makes a good job at automatically wrapping my text at 74 characters as I type. However, let's say that I've typed a paragraph, and Vim's wrapped it all at 74 characters. Great. But I then have to insert text somewhere on a line in the middle of the paragraph. As soon as I do that, the indentation for the whole paragraph is broken. I usually do this by immediately pressing: gq} Which will either then reformat the paragraph correctly, or sometimes (and I don't know under what conditions this happens) will proceed to line-wrap more than the paragraph its been asked to. Likewise, I sometimes find myself editing text, and pressing: J To join lines together. I then also will press: gq} To reformat the paragraph. So, hopefully with the above making sense, I am wondering if: * Whether "gq}" is even the correct mapping to use in Vim to reformat paragraphs. * Whether there's an option in Vim to tell it to always automatically reformat paragraphs as I type them. It's annoying having to press "gq}" each time. This includes also the case where I press "J" to join lines. Does anyone else do anything similar? Perhaps there's a whole set of tips on paragraph reformatting waiting to happen. Do speak up if so. :) TIA, -- Thomas Adam -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
