Why doesn't setting ts=4 in .vimrc work?
vim
Solution
Try this:
:verbose set tabstop?
in vim, it will tell you where the `tabstop` option value is coming from.
Problem
I have a stupid question but I am stuck. I do set set ts=4 in my .vimrc file, but it looks not work. Open a new file, tab is still extended as 3 spaces. And under command mode, "set ts" got a "tabstop=3". Is there a final file like .vimrc that overwrite my ts? Even I type :set ts=4, in vim, when I type tab, it only has 3 spaces in length. Here is my suspicious options that cause this annoying result in my .vimrc ``` set autoindent set shiftwidth=4 set softtabstop=4 set backspace=2 ``` Thanks.
