vim-findent [](https://travis-ci.org/lambdalisue/vim-findent) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/lambdalisue/vim-findent/branch/master)
===============================================================================
*vim-findent* is a plugin to find and apply reasonable values of `expandtab`, `shiftwidth`, `tabstop`, and `softtabstop` (an indent rule) from the content of the current buffer.
vim-findent is a small and simple Vim plugin, compares to existing similar plugins such as [vim-sleuth](https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth) or [detectindent](https://github.com/ciaranm/detectindent).
This plugin only provides two commands and no default `FileType` `autocmd` is provided, mean that users can control the behavior of automatic detection by defining `autocmd` by themselves.
The detection algorithm is much simpler as well compared to vim-sleuth or detectindent.
While we are living in a real world and we are editing pre-formatted codes, I don't really think we need a super perfect but complex algorithm.
A faster and simpler algorithm would be better.
See [Test cases](./test/dat) to figure out what kind of indent rules can be detected via this plugin.
Install
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Vundle.vim, neobundle.vim, or other vim plugin manager to install it like:
```vim
" Vundle.vim
Plugin 'lambdalisue/vim-findent'
" neobundle.vim
NeoBundle 'lambdalisue/vim-findent'
" neobundle.vim (Lazy)
NeoBundleLazy 'lambdalisue/vim-findent', {
\ 'autoload': {
\ 'commands': [
\ 'Findent',
\ 'FindentRestore',
\ ],
\}}
" neobundle.vim (Lazy: with completion)
NeoBundleLazy 'lambdalisue/vim-findent', {
\ 'autoload': {
\ 'commands': [
\ {
\ 'name': 'Findent',
\ 'complete': 'customlist,findent#FindentComplete',
\ },
\ {
\ 'name': 'FindentRestore',
\ 'complete': 'customlist,findent#FindentRestoreComplete',
\ },
\ ],
\}}
```
If you are not using any vim plugin manager, you can copy the repository to
your `$VIM` directory to enable the plugin.
Usage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call `:Findent` to find and apply reasonable `expandtab`, `shiftwidth`, `tabstop`, and `softtabstop` (an indent rule) of
the current buffer.
It automatically use a middle part of the content to detect the reasonable indent rule and apply to the local setting (`setlocal`).
If you want to control the region of content used for detection, use visual selection to select the region prior to the command.
Call `:FindentRestore` to restore a previous indent rule of the current buffer or call `:Findent!` to re-apply forcedly.
If you want to make this detection automatic, use `autocmd` like:
```vim
augroup findent
autocmd!
autocmd FileType javascript Findent
autocmd FileType css Findent
augroup END
```
If you feel annoying for the detection message, use '--no-messages':
```vim
augroup findent
autocmd!
autocmd FileType javascript Findent --no-messages
autocmd FileType css Findent --no-messages
augroup END
```
Or if you want to completely suppress messages, use '--no-warnings' as well:
```vim
augroup findent
autocmd!
autocmd FileType javascript Findent --no-messages --no-warnings
autocmd FileType css Findent --no-messages --no-warnings
augroup END
```
In this case, `Findent` reserve the specified options into a buffer variable and
actual `Findent` call will be performed on `BufWinEnter` autocmd.
This is required to make sure that the `Findent` command is called only after `FileType` autocmd or `ftplugin`.
See `:help Findent-autocmd` for more detail about this behavior.
Command and Variable
