Thanks! I spent an hour hunting around on google with no success. :( Another question if you don't mind. I'm using vim 6.2, and I am trying to setup vim to use different tab sizes based on different file types. I've searched around, and as far as I can tell, this should work: filetype indent on Somehow that is supposed to let vim decide what type of file is being edited. But, it doesn't work for me. Is there a list of file types vim can recognize? This is what my ~/.vimrc file looks like: "python settings: set tabstop=4 "4 space tab set shiftwidth=4 "The amount to block indent when using < and > set smarttab "Uses shiftwidth instead of tabstop at start of lines set expandtab "Replaces a <TAB> with spaces--more portable set softtabstop=4 "Causes backspace to delete 4 spaces = converted <TAB> "general settings: filetype indent on "new in vim 6.0+; file type specific indenting set nu "line numbers on (set nonu) syntax on "turns on syntax highlighting -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
