I have the following in my .vimrc:
set expandtab "Use soft tabs (spaces)
set shiftwidth=2 "Set tab width = 2
set softtabstop=2 "Set tab width = 2
set autoindent "Set indent of previous line
Now if I open another file which contains soft tabs of width 4 spaces, how can I make Vim to automatically set my tab also to 4 spaces, depending on the file. Currently, if I'm on a line which is indented 4 spaces and I press o in normal mode, the cursor jumps to next line, but only 2 spaces from left.
I also tried using set smartindent, but doesn't work.
% vim: softtabstop=4 shiftwidth=4as last line in that file if it's only one particular file and not a general rule. – Skillmon Mar 19 '18 at 12:58
