The Windows gVim is the look I want. I've tried everything from brew install vim to re-installing MacVim, no joy. It does not appear to be a vimrc issue, because I've tried the troubleshotting page here, with no joy:

Jürgen,
That could be it, but then I have two questions:
1. Why can't I navigate to the very beginning of the line where the indenting is different? This is behavior on the Mac, to be clear, not on Windows.
2. Why doesn't adding
set tabstop=4
in my Mac's vimrc fix the problem?
Thanks for your time!
Cheers,
Adrian
