Normally when on a tab the cursor is put at the end of the tab. You can change this with the 'virtualedit' option. Set it to 'all' and you can move through a tab cell by cell. > 2. Why doesn't adding > set tabstop=4 > in my Mac's vimrc fix the problem? Maybe that option has been changed by a (filetype) plugin. If you execute :verbose set tabstop? Vim will tell you where that option was changed last. Regards, Jürgen -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
