This was confusing for me to read, you may find parsing your .vimrc
easier if you convert
autocmd BufEnter * set ai
into
set ai
or even (my favorite)
set autoindent
This way it's easier to actually understand what your .vimrc is doing.
I think these three directives are equivalent but someone more
qualified than me can correct me if there are differences between
them.
With the autocommand version, the options get set whenever changing to
a different buffer. If a modeline turns off 'autoindent', it will be
turned back on. If a modeline sets its own 'formatoptions', the autocmd
resets it.
So, there's a difference. Personally, I thought these lines were
weirder:
autocmd FileType * set tabstop=2|set shiftwidth=2|set noexpandtab
autocmd FileType python set tabstop=4|set shiftwidth=4|set expandtab
(Why not combine the 'bar'-delimited ':set' commands?) But either way,
it works the same. Just for reference, fully "compressed":
au FileType * se ts=2 sw=2 noet
au FileType python se ts=4 sw=4 et
