Recent version of ftplugin/python.vim has the following lines: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/8fe1000e9c3438d0ff36cf2340f0f0e48f8fb89f/runtime/ftplugin/python.vim#L116-L119 So, if you don't want do use the recommended indent style, write the following setting in your .vimrc: let g:python_recommended_style = 0 Older versions of ftplugin/python.vim may not have the setting. Then you may need to overwrite the recommended setting by autocommand or some other way. Regards, Ken Takata -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
