Ben, thanks for that. Unfortunately, the specific local value for tabstop depends on the longest filename of interest (not necessarily the longest filename in the directory. This is set on a per-directory basis (and may change if the directory contents change). I just need the local tabstop value to stick to the buffer for a particular directory. So I need (or rather, want) vim to treat a netrw window in the same manner as it does other buffers. That way, even if I close the window, then open it again (for example, using :e Directory/Path), the ts value stays the same as it was set to last time. I get the feeling that I'm asking for the impossible, but there have been occassions in the past in which I have been pleasantly surprised. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
