Re: [OT(?)] Ubuntu 18 now defaults to 4-space tabs

We upgraded a server to 18.04 and now when I start typing

the tabs default to 4 spaces.  We have decades of code that
use tab characters, and it has not been our intention to
change that.

I found a /usr/share/vim/vim80/indent/python.vim and tried
moving it out of the way, but the behavior was still there.

I know I can put a modeline in every file but I was hoping
to do it for every user and for every file.


Thanks!

Recent version of ftplugin/python.vim has the following lines:

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/8fe1000e9c3438d0ff36cf2340f0f0e48f8fb89f/runtime/ftplugin/python.vim#L116-L119

So, if you don't want do use the recommended indent style,

write the following setting in your .vimrc:

  let g:python_recommended_style = 0

Older versions of ftplugin/python.vim may not have the setting.

Then you may need to overwrite the recommended setting by autocommand or some other way.

Ken Takata
