| Yes, I was aware of that (but thanks), and that's why I had written above: >a) many modern editors will do it for you although I tend not to use those particular vim options much. And for anyone else who does not know, many other vim set commands also have shortcuts, like: :se ai (for :set autoindent) and ts for tabstop, sw for shiftwidth, ic for ignorecase, wm for wrapmargin and many others, probably. I tend to do this in my .vimrc or .exrc as soon as I start using any new instance (on a new machine) of vi/vim: :se ai ts=4 sw=4 showmode showmatch ignorecase expandtab report=0 Also, like: >" See the current format > :set ff you can do this for any boolean setting, like readonly, ignorecase, etc.: :se readonly? :se ic? to query their values. |
