You could put this in your ~/.vimrc:
au BufWinEnter * if count(["c", "cpp", "python"], &ft)
\| setlocal softtabstop=4
\| setlocal shiftwidth=4
\| setlocal expandtab
\| else
\| setlocal softtabstop=8
\| setlocal shiftwidth=8
\| endif
That particular example is untested, but I have successfully used
the elements before.
The BufWinEnter event is one of the last events to be triggered
after a new buffer is opened. The FileType event is not used
because opening the buffer might not set the filetype.
The count() function searches for the current filetype (&ft) in the
given list of filetypes.
Another approach would be something like this:
set softtabstop=8
set shiftwidth=8
au FileType c,cpp,python
\ setlocal softtabstop=4
\| setlocal shiftwidth=4
\| setlocal expandtab
You could also write that autocommand like this:
au FileType c,cpp,python setlocal softtabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 expandtab
