Vim re indent?

dlublink · 10-02-2006, 10:57 AM

Hello,

I am using Vim to edit some PHP source code and enjoy the auto indentation features of vim. I was wondering, is there a command I can type to reindent a particular section of code or an entire file?

Thanks,

David

http://truth.sk/vim/vimbook-OPL.pdf a good tutorial on how to use vim. Basically what you will want to do is highlight the selected amount of lines then use the set width property.

I didn't find the width property spoken of. I found tab-width, textwidth but not the one you mentioned.

Highlighting and setting one of the above mentioned properties does nothing.

Hey,

I found what I was looking for. In command mode, one should type ==

== reindents the line.

If you highlight a section and hit == it will reindent it.

You can also do Number == to do a certain number of lines.
