ftdetect is (can be) a subdirectory of vimfiles/.vim and (for me) holds language-specific vim scripts that identify the language type of a specific file. This allows you to declare variables and settings to control how editing a particular file type is edited.

I include the following lines in most of mys source-language edigting files:-


setlocal softtabstop=4
setlocal tabstop=4
setlocal expandtab
setlocal shiftwidth=4



You can set them in many difference plaes... in files in the ftplugin directory, somewhere in an 'after' file, in the filetype.vim script, etc.

Sorry if I wasn't too clear before. Yes, the cold is getting to me!
