The 3 last lines make me think that you load an alternative syntax script (and probably an alternative indent script as well), maybe it overrides your .vimrc settings. There is also a duplicated setting (`set tabstop`) with two different values, I don't thinks it's a problem but it's dirty. — romainl, May 24 '11 at 05:54
@romainl ok I modified vimrc but Nothing happens ,, delete duplicated and delete 3 last lines — Tarek Saied, May 24 '11 at 06:34
What language are you coding with? Both my php.snippets and my javascript.snippets have slightly different `if` snippets but both already have the `{}` pair correctly expanded with the cursor indented and on a line of its own. If you _actually_ type the whole snippet you may be interested in [this q/a]() or [this one](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6066372/make-vim-curly-braces-square-braces-parens-act-like-textmate). — romainl, May 24 '11 at 11:55
Don't take it badly, but judging by your question history I think you are really struggling with Vim (and its indentation system) since at least a few months. TextMate is quite powerful as is - I know, I've been using it for years - so what draws to Vim? — romainl, May 24 '11 at 12:05
In what language/filetype did you found the problem? You can find out which filetype by opening the file and issuing `:set ft?`. You could also post your snippet file for that filetype (usually at ~/.vim/snippets/ - *nix or $HOME/vimfiles/snippets - mswindows). — mMontu, Oct 07 '11 at 11:34

Put this into your .vimrc file:

inoremap {<cr> {<CR><CR>}<Esc>-cc

It's not a SnipMate problem but an indentation problem. probably related to set autoindent. For me it works as you want.

Here are all my indentation related settings:

" a tab is 2 spaces
set tabstop=2
" when hitting <BS>, pretend like a tab is removed, even     if spaces
set softtabstop=2
" expand tabs by default (overloadable per file type later)
set expandtab
" number of spaces to use for autoindenting
set shiftwidth=2
" use multiple of shiftwidth when indenting with '<' and '>'
set shiftround
" always set autoindenting on
set autoindent
" copy the previous indentation on autoindenting
set copyindent
" insert tabs on the start of a line according to
" shiftwidth, not tabstop
set smarttab

thanks romainl ,, I added my .vimrc Please look at it and tell me where the error — Tarek Saied, May 24 '11 at 05:32
