Vim two space indentation

[John Maclean]

Hi guys,

This has probably been done before but I've looked through 5000+ emails and I've not seen a simple solution. I'd like to have two space indentation for *.rb files or those whose first line begins with !#/usr/bin/ruby. At the moment vim gives me eight spaces, (or is it a tab?).

I have the following lines in ~./vimrc

set nocompatible
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on
filetype indent on " Enable filetype-specific indenting
filetype on " Enable filetype detection

I also have the following files;
/usr/share/vim/vim63/ftplugin/ruby.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim63/compiler/ruby.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim63/indent/ruby.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/ruby.vim

I came to vim before the days of ftplugin. Actually, I came to vi first,
and already had filetype-specific configurations set up, so I sort of
ported that to vim when it came along. That said, the config lines you want
are:

set ts=2 sw=2 expandtab

It looks to me like you want it in either the ftplugin or indent directory,
but I'm not sure which. I believe the indent directory is intended for
automatic indentation configuration (equivalent to cindent), but again I am
not sure.

I just have it in ~/.vimrc, as follows:

set nocompatible
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on
set tabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set expandtab

Thanks!

I put the folowing line:-
set ts=2 sw=2 expandtab
into /usr/share/vim/vim63/indent/ruby.vim and it works

Hi,

I use a setting like that in my .vimrc file.

if has("autocmd")

augroup ruby
au BufReadPre,FileReadPre set kp=ri sw=2 ts=2 expandtab
augroup END

endif

With some more settings for Python, Perl and so on. And I would also
suggest to active autoindent and smartindent.

Best regards,
Oliver

The best answer is to create a file ~/.vim/ftplugin/ruby.vim with the
following

set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et

In this case, it might be better to use setlocal instead of set.
