Since it does not appear to have "filetype=python" in there, maybe I should have specified "Run vim with a .py filename". Yes, that was a bit that took me a while to figure out! So I used your trick and did: :verbose set shiftwidth? and it revealed: cd /usr/share/vim/vim80/ftplugin A

Your subject missed a critical word: vim. It's there! Run vim. Then ':set' to see what's set different than default. Then, if it is tabstop you want to know about, ':verbose set tabstop?' will tell you where that setting was last altered. Nothing that seems to point to space indent: backg

[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 a
