From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I have 'set cindent' in my .vimrc file, but it is no being activated when vim starts. If I manually tell vim ':set cindent' it will work, but it's annoying to always have to manually enable this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put 'set cindent' in your .vimrc file 2. Edit some source code and press enter after typing a { Actual Results: The cursor goes to the beginning of the next line Expected Results: The cursor should go to the next line, then indent to one tab more than the { on the previous line. Additional info: auto-indent also enabled vim-minimal-6.1-14 vim-X11-6.1-14 vim-common-6.1-14 vim-enhanced-6.1-14
This works for me. - Did you start the editor with 'vi' or 'vim' ? - is 'vi' an alias to vim ? 'type vi' ? /bin/vi is a stripped-down version of vim and doesn't support all the fancy options. Please make sure that you use /usr/bin/vim
This happens for either 'vi' (alias to vim, see below), or im gvim. I had thought that I tested this with some C source, but apparently that is working now. However, my main concern is that this doesn't work in PHP mode. Note that it *does* work if you manually type :set cindent in the editor. I have verified that this work with Mandrake Linux 9, which uses the same php.vim file from http://www.isp.de/data/php.vim dated 2002 Mar 11. $ which vi alias vi='vim' /usr/bin/vim
