Arguably this is a mistake in the vim ftplugin. For most programming languages line length is just user preference. Most ftplugins don't set 'textwidth', and perhaps the vim ftplugin shouldn't do so neither. I think it's fair to say that many people will find a setting of 78 inappropriate. -- David -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
