Hello
My company has a new coding convention (coding style guidelines) that I
really do not like (it includes a tabsize of 4) and I would like to format
the text a little automatically on buffer load, and change it back on save,
but I do not want every source file I open with vim to show up as
"modified" in vim.
Is it possible to reformat code upon opening the file (or after a
key-press), and show the buffer as "saved" (without writing the formatted
code back) ?
Thank you,
Timothy Madden
You can simply set the tabstop to whatever value suits you.
upon loading any file:
set tabstop=2
If your company uses spaces to indent, you can search for another
company (troll in disguise).

PS : if your company's using spaces, your only option is to get used to
it. 4 is a reasonable size, you may not like it but you'll get used to
it eventually.
