Stop vim from messing up my indentation on comments












8















For some reason Vim thinks all of my comments should have all indentation removed. If I add # to the beginning of a line, suddenly all leading whitespace is removed. How can I stop this?



I have Janus and NERDtree installed, in case it's relevent, along with copious other personal configurations in my .vimrc, but none that (as far as I know) would cause such behavior.

          This is a battle I fought as well, and think I finally won. The problem is that there are a dozen different ways the behavior can be overridden (by plugins/syntaxes).

          Here's all the settings I had to use to win the battle:



          set nosmartindent
          set cindent
          filetype plugin indent on
          set cinkeys-=0#
          set indentkeys-=0#
          autocmd FileType * set cindent "some file types override it


          With the autocmd, the first set cindent shouldn't be necessary, but this is one of those things where I kept adding lines until the behavior went away.

            @iconoclast note though that you may still have issues with some types of files. The last line is because some syntax files override indentation settings.

          You might want to check out the Vim Wiki Indenting source code page and checkout how 'autoindent' works.
