Setting Vim whitespace preferences by filetype
preferences, vim, whitespace
Solution
there are many ways, but here's a simple, easy to understand way. add these lines to your `~/.vimrc`:
autocmd FileType html setlocal ts=2 sts=2 sw=2
autocmd FileType ruby setlocal ts=2 sts=2 sw=2
autocmd FileType javascript setlocal ts=4 sts=4 sw=4
Problem
At my work, I am required to follow the house style for indentation, which goes as follows: - 2 spaces when coding html and ruby - tabs when coding javascript, with tabwidth=4 recommended What is the best way to specify different whitespace preferences per filetype?
