[OT(?)] Ubuntu 18 now defaults to 4-space tabs
We upgraded a server to 18.04 and now when I start typing a python file (seems to be triggered by the .py extension) the tabs default to 4 spaces. We have decades of code that use tab characters, and it has not been our intention to change that. I found a /usr/share/vim/vim80/indent/python.vim and tried moving it out of the way, but the behavior was still there. I know I can put a modeline in every file but I was hoping to do it for every user and for every file. Thanks! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

Immovable comments
When I do a Shft-V selections and then use '>' to indent blocks, the comments don't come along; they prefer to hang out in the first column. This was not always the case, which leads me to believe that there is a setting that I can use to make comments behave just like any other text in this (and any other) regard. Thanks!

Undo information is stored in a file. If you have not configured 'undodir' and just leave the default as storing the undo file in the same directory as the edited file, then your Vim on both machines will see the same undo information. You just need to be sure to configure both Vims to use that saved information and I think you'll be fine. I did put it somewhere in ~/.vim, as I was directed to do so in the first article I found when Googling this. However, the Vim on the work server is too old to support persistent undo altogether, and I'm not really in a position to upgrade it.

Persistent undo and nfs mounts

Debugging with xdebug and vim
Everything is working ok, but when I set a breakpoint with :Bp, I get the green line, but then whether I press F2, F3, F4, or F5, my breakpoint is ignored. What am I doing wrong?

Odd tab behavior
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.
