However, when _editing_ I tell vi that when I press TAB it is to

SPACE characters to get to the next 4 column position.
How do you do that?
I've got vim set up so a CTRL-T while in insert mode does that (and
CTRL-D does the opposite) but don't know how to make use of the tab
key.
^T and ^D have done that since time immemorial in vi, no special setup
required. I pretty much never use ^T but I do use ^D to back out an
indent level.
These are my settings relevant to tabs and indenting:
set autoindent
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=2
set tabstop=4
In order:
autoindent: start the next line's text on the same indent as this one
expandtab: write spaces instead of a TAB character
shiftwidth: how far the < and > shift-text operations move
tabstop: the multiple used to tabstops - every 4 columns for me
Thanks!
Here is what I've got in my ~/.vimrc file:
set autoindent
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set textwidth=72
set scrolljump=2
set scrolloff=2
I'll add
set tabstop=4
Happy to post my other settings should anyone care.
... and yes, I for one certainly do "care."
I'd very much like to see your other settings.
Cheers,
Alex
