In Vim, are there shortcuts to set tab widths to 2 and 4?
Posted on In QATab widths may be different for different languages. Even with a common language, the tab width settings can be different for different projects.
In Vim, are there shortcuts to set tab widths to 2 and 4? To quickly change the tab widths when changing projects.
I am afraid no. But you create shortcuts for setting tab widths in Vim.
Add these lines to your ~/.vimrc:
" set tab width
function SetTab2()
set shiftwidth=2
set tabstop=2
set softtabstop=2
echo "Set tab to 2 spaces"
endfunction
function SetTab4()
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=4
set softtabstop=4
echo "Set tab to 4 spaces"
endfunction
map t4 :call SetTab4() <CR>
map t2 :call SetTab2() <CR>

Then, in your Vim, you can use t2
and t4
to set table to 2 and 4 spaces.
