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.
It should work as long as it's a paragraph, i.e. separated by blank
lines. However if you have a line with spaces, it won't end current
paragraph. Also you can use gqap to format current complete paragraph.
To do auto-formatting, see :help fo-table , option 'a', so:
:set fo+=a
will take care of that.
