Re: how to auto-indent both Tab and Space indented lines?

In my files, some lines are indented with Tab's, while others uses

If I set cindent or smartindent, new lines after one set of these

lines cannot be auto-indented correctly.

So I have to set autoindent and add or remove indents manually when

necessary.

Cannot VIM auto discern previous line's indent style to auto indent a

new line?

See if either of these do what you need.

   :help copyindent
   :help preserveindent

You might also wanna look at

:help 'tabstop'

:help 'shiftwidth'

:help 'expandtab'
