Re^2: Can't get vim to stop outdenting Perl comments, any ideas?

Yes, I did try the cinkeys method also, which worked in some, but not all cases for me. I do have some good news though. I did get the functionality finally with the .vimrc file I quote below. However I still plan to borrow some coolness from ovid.

:set nocompatible
:filetype plugin indent on
:syntax enable
:set background=dark
:set tabstop=3
:set shiftwidth=3
:set softtabstop=3
:set ignorecase
:set expandtab
:set modeline
:set ruler
:set showmatch
:set nohlsearch
:autocmd BufWritePre * :%s/\s\+$//e
:nnoremap <F5> :set invpaste paste?<CR>
:set pastetoggle=<F5>
:let perl_fold = 1 
:set foldmethod=syntax
:set cursorline
:set cursorcolumn
:autocmd FileType perl highlight OverLength ctermbg=green ctermfg=whit
+e guibg=#E293AA
:match OverLength /\%81v.*/
:set number
:set backspace=eol,indent,start
:autocmd BufReadPost * if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") 
+| exe "normal g'\"" | endif

Re^3: [somewhat OT now] Can't get vim to stop outdenting Perl comments, any ideas? by Tommy (Chaplain) on Jan 15, 2010 at 11:22 UTC
hmmmm. I just found out that unless the cursor is in column 0, ":set cursorcolumn" completely negates ":autocmd BufWritePre * :%s/\s\+$//e" (the latter removing trailing whitespace from all lines on write) So "cursorcolumn" hot a feature after all, even though we had a good run together for a day. :-( -- Tommy	[reply]
