This issue is reproducible in vim and neovim. I'm using neovim with pretty much default values and no plugins (except the standard file plugins) and noticed a behavior that bothers me for a few years: In some situations vim gets the indenting wrong:
def test():
a = [<ENTER>
I'd expect the cursor on the next line to be here, e.g. 4 characters indented from the previous line:
def test():
a = [<ENTER>
<HERE>
instead, vim consistently shifts by 8 characters and I end up here:
def test():
a = [<ENTER>
<HERE>
This behavior is quite consistent in other situations too:
def test():
for i in range(10):
a = [<ENTER>
<HERE>
the cursor is shifted 8 characters instead of 4. My question is: where does that behavior come from and can it be fixed?
The relevant options set automatically by the python file plugin:
shiftround
softtabstop=4
tabstop=4
expandtab
shiftwidth=4
comments=b:#,fb:-
filetype=python
syntax=python
cinkeys=0{,0},0),0],:,!^F,o,O,e
commentstring=# %s
define=^\s*\(def\|class\)
include=^\s*\(from\|import\)
includeexpr=substitute(substitute(substitute(v:fname,b:grandparent_match,b:grandparent_sub,''),b:parent_match,b:parent_sub,''),b:child_match,b:child_sub,'g')
indentexpr=GetPythonIndent(v:lnum)
indentkeys=0{,0},0),0],:,!^F,o,O,e,<:>,=elif,=except
