Hi Folks,
When I comment out a line, vim left justifies the line, but I want the
indentation to say exactly where it is! Does anybody now when vim
setting is responsible for either
1) Causing the shifty left justification of comments, so I can delete
it
2) Suppresses this shifty left justification that is maybe part of some
other setting, which maybe does things I want.
I just want it to stop! (-:
I often get stuck with visual mode in vi and the crazy one tab means
indent the next line with a tab too and then crazy stair step ensues!
What language are you commenting in?
