When editing TeX files, neovim sometimes indents new lines 2x or even 3x. I also see it happen when I type a '{' or '('. I have tried changing .config/nvim/afteftplugin/tex.vim:

setlocal autoindent let g:tex_indent_brace=0 let g:tex_indent_and=0 let g:tex_indent_items=0 

I turned off my LSP and confirmed these values are set by running :lua =vim.g.tex_indent_brace. But this doesn't solve the issue. Is there something I'm missing? I don't have vimtex or anything else TeX-related installed, other than texlab and nvim-treesitter.

I recently switched from Vim to Neovim. I'm trying to understand the differences in how Neovim handles indentation compared to regular Vim. In my current init.lua and .vimrc files, I have the following indentation settings:
set autoindent autocmd FileType * setlocal formatoptions-=cro
It seems that Neovim is still not behaving exactly like Vim. I want to keep a consistent user experience between Vim and Neovim, as I still may need to use Vim in the future. Having indentation behave the same across both programs is important to me. Here is an example where Neovim and Vim indentation doesn't behave the same, despite using the the same settings.
Vim on the Left, Nvim on the Right.
Thanks.
Update:
I have since fixed this.
I didn't know that Nvim loads a couple more built in plugins compared to regular Vim. Running :scriptnames helped me identify indent.vim and couple other language specific plugins like python.vim. In fact, the Python plugin was setting my indentation to the recommend PEP8, which I didn't want. I'm on macOS and installed Nvim through Homebrew. These files are located in /uslocal/Cellaneovim/0.9.5/share/nvim/runtime, if anyone is curious. At first I was just going to delete these files, but then I realized I just needed to add filetype indent off and filetype plugin off to my init.lua file. With these settings, I also no longer needed set autoindentautocmd FileType * setlocal formatoptions-=cro, which I was using to avoid adding auto comments on a new line in Nvim. Of course, I know this means that I turned off all the language specific features, but now it's behaving exactly like regular Vim, which is what I wanted. Reading this was also really helpful: https://neovim.io/doc/usevim_diff.html#nvim-defaults
Also, I just wanted to clarify that there is auto indentation on the Vim picture on the left. The difference is that the auto indentation depends on the indentation of the previous line, from what I'm used to. For example, if I was writing a for loop and it was indented 2 spaces over, then the line right underneath the for loop declaration would also be indented 2 spaces over. I would need to hit tab one more time on that line to start writing inside the for loop body, 4 spaces over. Here is more info on this behavior: https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/5818/what-is-the-difference-between-autoindent-and-smartindent-in-vimrc

Hey guys,
today I reconfigured my Neovim. For the most part I'm satisfied now, but strangely the matching bracket to the bracket under the cursor is not highlighted. After some research it seems that matchparen is the standard plugin responsible for the functionality. As far as I'm aware I haven't explicitly turned it off.
These are my configurations: ``` local opt = vim.opt -- To save you some typing
-- Visual Appearance opt.termguicolors = true -- Enable 24-bit RGB colors opt.showmatch = true -- Show matching brackets (typing and on cursor-over) opt.background = 'dark' -- Default for colorschemes with light and dark mode opt.signcolumn = "yes" -- A symbol/character column used by certain plugins opt.cursorline = true -- Highlight the current line opt.cmdheight = 1 -- Height of the command bar
-- Line Numbers opt.relativenumber = true -- Show relative line numbers (for direct jumps) opt.number = true -- Show the absolute number of the current line
-- Tabs opt.tabstop = 4 opt.shiftwidth = 4 opt.softtabstop = 4 opt.expandtab = true
-- Search Behavior opt.incsearch = true -- Show matches while typing (as in modern browsers) opt.ignorecase = true -- Lower-case characters match upper-case characters opt.smartcase = true -- Upper-case characters match only upper-case characters opt.hlsearch = true -- Turn off: vim.keymap.set("n", "nh", ":nohl")
-- Text Wrapping opt.wrap = true -- Use separate visual lines for long lines opt.breakindent = true -- Line wrapping preserves indentation opt.linebreak = true -- Primarily to prevent wrapping within words
-- Split Windows opt.splitright = true -- Prefer windows splitting to the right opt.splitbelow = true -- Prefer windows splitting to the bottom
-- Miscellaneous opt.belloff = "all" -- Never ring the unwanted bell opt.clipboard = "unnamedplus" -- ALWAYS use the clipboard for ALL operations -- (instead of interacting with '+'/'*' registers opt.mouse = "a" -- It's okay to use the mouse -- opt.foldmethod = "indent" -- Fold levels are defined by indentation opt.autoindent = true opt.cindent = true opt.updatetime = 1000 -- Relevant for CursorHold (as used by some plugins) -- opt.scrolloff = 10 -- There are always ten lines below/above cursor
opt.formatoptions:remove("a") -- Prevent auto formatting opt.formatoptions:remove("t") -- Don't auto format my code (I use linters instead) opt.formatoptions:append("c") -- Comments should respect textwidth opt.formatoptions:append("q") -- Allow formatting comments w/ gq opt.formatoptions:remove("o") -- O and o, don't continue comments opt.formatoptions:append("r") -- But do continue when pressing enter opt.formatoptions:append("n") -- Indent past the formatlistpat, not underneath it opt.formatoptions:append("j") -- Auto-remove comments if possible opt.formatoptions:remove("2") -- -- Check :verbose set formatoptions? if you feel like this is overwritten somehow
-- Highlight on yank (copy). It will do a nice highlight blink of the thing you just copied. vim.api.nvim_exec( [[ augroup YankHighlight autocmd! autocmd TextYankPost * silent! lua vim.highlight.on_yank() augroup end ]], false ) (`/plugin/options.lua`) require('onedark').setup { style = 'deep' } require('onedark').load()
-- Transparent backgrounds for the Diagnostics messages vim.cmd([[highlight DiagnosticVirtualTextError guibg=none]]) vim.cmd([[highlight DiagnosticVirtualTextWarn guibg=none]]) vim.cmd([[highlight DiagnosticVirtualTextInfo guibg=none]]) vim.cmd([[highlight DiagnosticVirtualTextHint guibg=none]])
-- The grey matching color makes the parenthesis disappear when cursor is on the next position vim.cmd([[highlight MatchParen guibg=purple]]) `` (/plugin/colorscheme.lua`)
With formatoptions I had problems with /usshare/nvim/runtime/ overwriting things, so maybe something similar is the problem here?
Thanks for your input!

I'm struggling to get the autoindent to work for LaTeX files. For instance, I'm getting the following: ``` \begin{enumerate} \item[\it Label:] \item[\it Label:] \item[\it Label:]
\end{enumerate} When what I'd like to get is: \begin{enumerate} \item[\it Label:] \item[\it Label:] \item[\it Label:]
\end{enumerate} I've tried turning autoindent off and on, and the same for smartindent. I've tried the following: vim.g['tex_flavor'] = 'latex' vim.g['tex_indent_items'] = false vim.g['tex_indent_and'] = false vim.g['tex_indent_brace'] = false ``` It does also do annoying things if I open an brace, indenting the whole line while in insert mode. Anyhow, any pointers would much appreciated.

I recently started using Vim for my code development, so please bear with me.
I am a final year CS student and mostly use Java or C to code. I have been very reliant on IDEs (especially IntelliJ) for my coding and thought Vim would be a nice change.
I installed Vim-Plug as my plugin manager and used this to get coc.nvim to keep some of the IDE nice-to-haves. The code completion is working nicely as I combined it with coc-tabnine. I also installed coc-java for my java development. However, it doesn't seem like everything is working correctly...
Firstly, when I open Vim, it gives this error. Here is what my java installations look like and to which one my JAVA_HOME is pointing (OpenJDK-18). I imagine this is what is causing the following things to break:
When I auto-complete code, it does not automatically add the necessary import at the top as it should. I also do not get any error indicators in the code (not as big a problem). The import functionality would be very useful as it is very tedious in java to add imports for everything manually.
I'd appreciate any help!
​
My vimrc if it helps (located in ~/.vim):

set nobackup set updatetime=300 set signcolumn=yes filetype off call plug#begin() Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'branch': 'release'} Plug 'preservim/nerdtree' Plug 'tpope/vim-commentary' Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive' call plug#end() filetype plugin indent on set number inoremap   \ coc#pum#visible() ? coc#pum#next(1) : \ CheckBackspace() ?

Consider such scenario. There is text with a few preceding spaces:
foo
I wanted to simply add a new line at the beginning, without losing those spaces. But with vim if autoindent is on, simply pressing Enter before that in Insert mode will swallow all the spaces. Is there some easy way (that can be mapped to Ctrl + Enter may be?) to add a line break without going through turning autoindent off and on back?
UPDATE:
Here is a rough method I came up with. Binding something to Ctrl+Enter didn't work, so I used Ctrl+L:
:inoremap :set paste:set nopaste
Ideally it should be improved to read the current value of paste, and restoring it after the operation. So may be some kind of function would work better.
UPDATE 2:
Slightly improved version:
:inoremap set pasteset nopaste
For Shift + Enter to work, Konsole needed a configuration change for the keyboard combos, to emit \x1b[13;2u for Return+Shift.

I'm trying to figure out how to setup https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim. Decided to ask about it here instead of opening up an issue because it's probably something I don't understand about neovim (currently trying to setup my neovim environment for the first time, using vim-plugged).
I have been trying to setup, but it simply does not appear to do anything. I can't for the life of me figure out where I am supposed to put the following lua code:

require("indent_blankline").setup { -- for example, context is off by default, use this to turn it on show_current_context = true, show_current_context_start = true, } 

I have been looking around the pluggins directory and found the init.lua file and tried putting it in there but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi everyone,
Fist time posting here, so sorry if I am doing anything wrong.
I have this old vim setup for R data science, that evolved into a nvim setup and which was updated to a PERFECT partially lua setup. It has everything the way I wanted. But somehow, with some upstream change it stopped working after I updated my packages.
The error is:

VimTeX has a feature where LaTeX code is concealed when the cursor is not on that line. Although this is a helpful feature, I've been unable to resolve an issue where the concealment remains on the line where my cursor is on. I'd expect the concealment to be removed on the line that my cursor is on, but now I am forced to manually toggle the concealment. Oddly enough, entering visual selection mode unconceals the current line.
Any advice on how to resolve this issue?

Either in command mode when looping through commands or files or in insest mode when trying to autocomplete. My vimrc under. I'm able to autocomplete both in command mode and insert mode using to loop through the options but I'm not able to see the options.

I've tried changing every single indentation setting in vim to get the right indendation in python and I can't get it to work. I don't want to turn off auto indent, I just want it to work correctly. It mostly works, but there is one case where it does not. If I type something like an opening paren and then hit enter, I get indented two levels instead of one. If I do a colon, e.g. for x in y: it automatically gives me a single indent level correctly. But if I do long_function_name( and hit enter, it indents two levels (8 spaces). Can anyone help? Here are my indent settings right now, however I have changed all of these and others all around and this double indent never goes away. This is located at the very bottom of my .vimrc. I'm guessing I need something in /afteplugin or whatever.

I would like to know what you think of it, and also mistakes I've made and how to avoid them.
Please do post your own .vimrc in the comments, I'm very interested in knowing all of the cool stuff you can do without using plug-ins. Thanks a lot!
Edit: edited my .vimrc, eager for you guys to show me towards more cool no plug-in stuff! If you want to take a look at my .vimrc after I've stopped updating this post, click here

Hi! I'm having an issue configuring vim's indentation.
TL;DR: How do I make my next line use my previous line indentation?
​
I've been using tabs for my indentation for most of my software developer career, and a long time ago, I configured my vimrc to use tabs as indentation. It worked just as expected, taking into account the previous line indentation, when a code block started or ended, and all of that good stuff.
The problem started when I jumped to a new company, and there are projects using tabs, projects using spaces, and even projects with a mix of both.
I can't seem to find the correct way to set something as simple as 'use the previous line METHOD of indentation (it already uses the amount of indentation). Here's an example:
Before pressing o. There are 2 spaces on line 45
After pressing o. A tab was inserted as indentation at line 46.
I'm using neovim, and can upload my vimrc if needed (init.vim).
I've got autoindent on, and tried toggling on or off smartindent, without success. filetype plugin and filetype indent are both on
How can I configure mi Vim configuration to work this way?

I have some remaps that I want to share, plus ask for comment what you think. Maybe there is a collision I do not realize or a better way of doing. Or it is a bad idea for whatever reason I can't think of now. For the context, I use Vim mostly for programming (mainly but not exclusively Python, shell scripts and nowdays learning Rust, plus occasionally Markdown and Vimwiki) and without many plugins at all. This is not the entire file, just a few lines I cherry picked.
General mappings

" Leader key space let mapleader=" " " Make sure spacebar does not have any mapping beforehand. nnoremap    " Source vim configuration without restarting. command S source ~/.vimrc " Insert output of command as if it was piped from terminal. cnoremap  read ! nnoremap  :read ! inoremap  :read ! 

Normal mode mappings

" Toggle between search highlight on off. nnoremap  h :setlocal hlsearch! " Toggle between spellcheck on off. nnoremap  s :setlocal spell! " Toggle autowrap at window border for display without changing the content. nnoremap  l :setlocal wrap! " Toggle colorcolumn line. nnoremap  c :execute "set colorcolumn=" \ . (&colorcolumn == "" ? 80 : "") " Toggle textwidth on and off for automatic linebreak nnoremap  t :execute "set textwidth=" \ . (&textwidth == 0 ? 79 : 0) " search next ", ', [, ], {, }, (, ), <, > and replace inside pair nnoremap c" /"ci" nnoremap c' /'ci' nnoremap c[ /[ci[ nnoremap c] /]ci] nnoremap c{ /{ci{ nnoremap c} /}ci} nnoremap c( /(ci( nnoremap c) /)ci) nnoremap c< /<ci< nnoremap c> />ci> " Create new line with auto indentation. A replacement for "o", when indentation of next line should be added automatically by autoindent of vim nnoremap  A " Indent text from current position, instead of entire line. nnoremap  iw " Backspace from current position, especially to remove indentation. nnoremap  il " Easy to remember shortcut to reflow current paragraph. nnoremap f gwip 

Insert mode mappings

" Start a new change before deleting with Ctr+u, so a normal mode "u" can still " recover the deleted word or line. Normally Ctrl+u while in insert mode " would delete the text without undo history and it would be lost forever. inoremap  u inoremap  u " Autocompletion of filenames in insert mode. Ctrl+d will abort. inoremap   " Complete and go in folder. inoremap   

I'm finding when I copy something from vim, and display it elsewhere, or if teammates are opening my code files in other editors. The tabbing is off. It seems inconsistent when I physically press TAB, or when the autoindent automatically adds the tabs.
I want all code indention lines, to be 1 tab, and that visually take up 2 spaces, and when it gets copied somewhere it also be 1 tab. Like so.

function myfunc() { this.document = null; } 

It visually has two spaces in vim, but is 1 tab, and auto indent adds only 1 tab when I type { and hit enter.
I would prefer to remove all tabs and use actual spaces, but this is isn't possible with the style guide where I work.

[SOLVED]: solved by adding filetype indent off to my .vimrc
My issue is: running vim-plug ruins my indenting.
Consider me having the following .vimrc:

"call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged') "call plug#end() syntax on set tabstop=8 set softtabstop=0 set shiftwidth=8 set autoindent set nosmartindent set nocindent set copyindent 

I open a file called temp.c and type in the sequence:

It's long and boring and in a private repo on github just because it's kind of a mess and I don't want people directly copying it as a result (there's a lot of embarrassing cruft in there from like a decade ago that I'm self conscious about :P) but here are some places to get started. Warning: this is going to highlight what I said about being really overwhelming!
Unclosed strings (" with no terminator) are comments in vim. Takes some getting used to.
Stuff that goes in your .vimrc or nvim equivalent:

" This is boring technical stuff, just do it set nocompatible set wildmenu set backspace=indent,eol,start " Turn on line numbers at the bottom and beside your text set number set ruler " Syntax higlighting and indenting syntax on filetype plugin indent on " Turn off the arrow keys to force you to learn hjkl :P you don't need to use this if you don't want noremap   noremap   noremap   noremap   " Lets you use Tab as Esc to save reaching for the escape key. " You can also remap something else.

Quite a lot! Then I recommend these plugins (language-independent):

• vim-fugitive: git integration
• vim-signify: more git integration
• vim-rhubarb: github integration
• ALE: lets you run syntax checkers and stuff
• vim-airline: nice status bar
• vim-airline-themes: themes for airline
• awesome-vim-colorschemes: use it to find a colorscheme you like. You can uninstall it after and just install that specific colorscheme.
• fzf: find files quickly (using backslash+space in my config above)
• fzf.vim: makes fzf easier to use in vim (required for my config above)

I have a ton more plugins floating around, and this doesn't even get in to language specific plugins, but this is enough to get you properly overwhelmed and you can worry about more later :P
For plugin management I just use vim's built-in package manager, but some people like plugin managers. I don't really see the point, but whatever makes people happy.

Whenever I search the character behind the cursor just shows different. I want the whole text to show different colors and the pointer to show the 3rd color.

The plugin I'm trying to use is here: https://github.com/octol/vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight
here's my .vimrc file in its entirety:

If I open a .cpp file (with valid c++ syntax) it's just white-on-black text (same as any text file).
at the top I have filetype off, because that's what Vundle says is required. but if I include filetype plugin on and syntax on at the bottom of the .vimrc, I get some very minor syntax highlighting, which I assume is just default vim.
also, I have ran :PluginInstall, and it shows up as having successfully installed Vundle and vim-cpp-enhanced-hilight.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, and am confused why this isn't a straightforward process.
any help is appreciated! (Also, if you have tips/critiques for the rest of my .vimrc file, I'd love to hear them!)

I have neovim loading my .vimrc and I'm also using Vundle and have python syntax defined in the after directory...
When I open a python file, all foldable sections are already folded, even though I have foldlevel set to 99.
I have the space bar mapped to fold/unfold, which worked in vim. It does work to unfold in neovim but stops working after the unfold.
​
Here is my .vimrc / init.vim:
