# `:GuessIndent`
Blazing fast indentation style detection for Neovim written in Lua.
The goal of this plugin is to automatically detect the indentation style used
in a buffer and updating the buffer options accordingly.
This mimics the "*Guess Indentation Settings From Buffer*" function built into
Sublime Text.
## How it works
Whenever you open a new buffer, guess-indent looks at the first few hundred
lines and uses them to determine how the buffer should be indented.
It then automatically updates the buffer options so that they match the
opened file.
## Installation
Install using your favorite package manager and then call the following setup
function somewhere in your config:
```lua
require('guess-indent').setup {}
```
If you are using [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim), you
can install and set up guess-indent simultaneously:
```lua
-- using packer.nvim
use {
'nmac427/guess-indent.nvim',
config = function() require('guess-indent').setup {} end,
}
```
## Usage
By default, guess-indent automatically runs whenever you open a new buffer.
You can also run it manually using the `:GuessIndent` command.
## Configuration
The plugin provides the following configuration options:
```lua
-- This is the default configuration
require('guess-indent').setup {
auto_cmd = true, -- Set to false to disable automatic execution
override_editorconfig = false, -- Set to true to override settings set by .editorconfig
filetype_exclude = { -- A list of filetypes for which the auto command gets disabled
"netrw",
"tutor",
},
buftype_exclude = { -- A list of buffer types for which the auto command gets disabled
"help",
"nofile",
"terminal",
"prompt",
},
}
```
Normally it should not be necessary to disable the automatic execution of
guess-indent, because it usually takes less than a millisecond to run,
even for large files.
## Alternatives
- [`indent-o-matic`](https://github.com/Darazaki/indent-o-matic) - Blazingly
fast, written in lua, based on a very simple algorithm.
[Comparison](https://github.com/Darazaki/indent-o-matic/issues/12)
- [`vim-sleuth`](https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth) - Very smart but slower
heuristic, compatible with Vim.
