My vim have a auto indent future for C files. I can run it and :set nocindent to change this behaviour. I don’t know what to add to the global configuration file. I’ve tested these lines without effects.
set nocindent set noautoindent set nosmartindent filetype indent off filetype plugin indent off I’m out of ideas. My vim version is 8.0.13 .
Syntax and filetype plugins are able to override your default settings. The reason for this is that they are applied later, when the file is opened, as opposed to when vim starts.
To work around this, you can do something like:
autocmd FileType * set nocindent Basically this results in calling set nocindent every time a file is opened.
Change the * to c if you only want this to apply to c files.
@Michas: As far as I know, we can re-define our Vim's environment using the "-u" option inline with the vim command. For example:
1) Creating a file, say ~/.yourvim, with the following stuffs:
set nocindent set noautoindent 2) Then add into your ~/.bashrc file this line
alias vim="vim -u ~/.yourvim" 3) Exit the current terminal, open a new one and you can try with the new vim's environment.
I am using this trick to define my own vim. Of course we can provide more options inside the "~/.yourvim" files as well as the "alias" command. So far, it works on my Debian 8 with vim version 7.4.
There is another way: modify or create (if it does not exists)
~/.vimrc put the following lines into the latter file
set nocindent set noautoindent Exit the current terminal, open a new one and try. Good luck!
/etc/vim/vimrc.local?/etc/vim/vimrc.localbut/etc/vimrc./etc/vim/vimrc.localyourself.strace -o vim.log -eopen vim fooexit vim and rungrep "/etc/" vim.logthen you will see the files read from/etc/.
