==============================================================================
|
||
|
1. Indenting C style programs *C-indenting*
|
||
|
|
||
|
The basics for C style indenting are explained in section |30.2| of the user
|
||
|
manual.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Vim has options for automatically indenting C style program files. Many
|
||
|
programming languages including Java and C++ follow very closely the
|
||
|
formatting conventions established with C. These options affect only the
|
||
|
indent and do not perform other formatting. There are additional options that
|
||
|
affect other kinds of formatting as well as indenting, see |format-comments|,
|
||
|
|fo-table|, |gq| and |formatting| for the main ones.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that this will not work when the |+smartindent| or |+cindent| features
|
||
|
have been disabled at compile time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are in fact four main methods available for indentation, each one
|
||
|
overrides the previous if it is enabled, or non-empty for 'indentexpr':
|
||
|
'autoindent' uses the indent from the previous line.
|
||
|
'smartindent' is like 'autoindent' but also recognizes some C syntax to
|
||
|
increase/reduce the indent where appropriate.
|
||
|
'cindent' Works more cleverly than the other two and is configurable to
|
||
|
different indenting styles.
|
||
|
'indentexpr' The most flexible of all: Evaluates an expression to compute
|
||
|
the indent of a line. When non-empty this method overrides
|
||
|
the other ones. See |indent-expression|.
|
||
|
The rest of this section describes the 'cindent' option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that 'cindent' indenting does not work for every code scenario. Vim
|
||
|
is not a C compiler: it does not recognize all syntax. One requirement is
|
||
|
that toplevel functions have a '{' in the first column. Otherwise they are
|
||
|
easily confused with declarations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These four options control C program indenting:
|
||
|
'cindent' Enables Vim to perform C program indenting automatically.
|
||
|
'cinkeys' Specifies which keys trigger reindenting in insert mode.
|
||
|
'cinoptions' Sets your preferred indent style.
|
||
|
'cinwords' Defines keywords that start an extra indent in the next line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If 'lisp' is not on and 'equalprg' is empty, the "=" operator indents using
|
||
|
Vim's built-in algorithm rather than calling an external program.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See |autocommand| for how to set the 'cindent' option automatically for C code
|
||
|
files and reset it for others.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*cinkeys-format* *indentkeys-format*
|
||
|
The 'cinkeys' option is a string that controls Vim's indenting in response to
|
||
|
typing certain characters or commands in certain contexts. Note that this not
|
||
|
only triggers C-indenting. When 'indentexpr' is not empty 'indentkeys' is
|
||
|
used instead. The format of 'cinkeys' and 'indentkeys' is equal.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default is "0{,0},0),:,0#,!^F,o,O,e" which specifies that indenting occurs
|
||
|
as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
"0{" if you type '{' as the first character in a line
|
||
|
"0}" if you type '}' as the first character in a line
|
||
|
"0)" if you type ')' as the first character in a line
|
||
|
":" if you type ':' after a label or case statement
|
||
|
"0#" if you type '#' as the first character in a line
|
||
|
"!^F" if you type CTRL-F (which is not inserted)
|
||
|
"o" if you type a <CR> anywhere or use the "o" command (not in
|
||
|
insert mode!)
|
||
|
"O" if you use the "O" command (not in insert mode!)
|
||
|
"e" if you type the second 'e' for an "else" at the start of a
|
||
|
line
|
||
|
|
||
|
Characters that can precede each key: *i_CTRL-F*
|
||
|
! When a '!' precedes the key, Vim will not insert the key but will
|
||
|
instead reindent the current line. This allows you to define a
|
||
|
command key for reindenting the current line. CTRL-F is the default
|
||
|
key for this. Be careful if you define CTRL-I for this because CTRL-I
|
||
|
is the ASCII code for <Tab>.
|
||
|
* When a '*' precedes the key, Vim will reindent the line before
|
||
|
inserting the key. If 'cinkeys' contains "*<Return>", Vim reindents
|
||
|
the current line before opening a new line.
|
||
|
0 When a zero precedes the key (but appears after '!' or '*') Vim will
|
||
|
reindent the line only if the key is the first character you type in
|
||
|
the line. When used before "=" Vim will only reindent the line if
|
||
|
there is only white space before the word.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When neither '!' nor '*' precedes the key, Vim reindents the line after you
|
||
|
type the key. So ';' sets the indentation of a line which includes the ';'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Special key names:
|
||
|
<> Angle brackets mean spelled-out names of keys. For example: "<Up>",
|
||
|
"<Ins>" (see |key-notation|).
|
||
|
^ Letters preceded by a caret (^) are control characters. For example:
|
||
|
"^F" is CTRL-F.
|
||
|
o Reindent a line when you use the "o" command or when Vim opens a new
|
||
|
line below the current one (e.g., when you type <Enter> in insert
|
||
|
mode).
|
||
|
O Reindent a line when you use the "O" command.
|
||
|
e Reindent a line that starts with "else" when you type the second 'e'.
|
||
|
: Reindent a line when a ':' is typed which is after a label or case
|
||
|
statement. Don't reindent for a ":" in "class::method" for C++. To
|
||
|
Reindent for any ":", use "<:>".
|
||
|
=word Reindent when typing the last character of "word". "word" may
|
||
|
actually be part of another word. Thus "=end" would cause reindenting
|
||
|
when typing the "d" in "endif" or "endwhile". But not when typing
|
||
|
"bend". Also reindent when completion produces a word that starts
|
||
|
with "word". "0=word" reindents when there is only white space before
|
||
|
the word.
|
||
|
=~word Like =word, but ignore case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you really want to reindent when you type 'o', 'O', 'e', '0', '<', '>',
|
||
|
'*', ':' or '!', use "<o>", "<O>", "<e>", "<0>", "<<>", "<>>", "<*>", "<:>" or
|
||
|
"<!>", respectively, for those keys.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For an emacs-style indent mode where lines aren't indented every time you
|
||
|
press <Enter> but only if you press <Tab>, I suggest:
|
||
|
:set cinkeys=0{,0},:,0#,!<Tab>,!^F
|
||
|
You might also want to switch off 'autoindent' then.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note: If you change the current line's indentation manually, Vim ignores the
|
||
|
cindent settings for that line. This prevents vim from reindenting after you
|
||
|
have changed the indent by typing <BS>, <Tab>, or <Space> in the indent or
|
||
|
used CTRL-T or CTRL-D.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*cinoptions-values*
|
||
|
The 'cinoptions' option sets how Vim performs indentation. The value after
|
||
|
the option character can be one of these (N is any number):
|
||
|
N indent N spaces
|
||
|
-N indent N spaces to the left
|
||
|
Ns N times 'shiftwidth' spaces
|
||
|
-Ns N times 'shiftwidth' spaces to the left
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the list below,
|
||
|
"N" represents a number of your choice (the number can be negative). When
|
||
|
there is an 's' after the number, Vim multiplies the number by 'shiftwidth':
|
||
|
"1s" is 'shiftwidth', "2s" is two times 'shiftwidth', etc. You can use a
|
||
|
decimal point, too: "-0.5s" is minus half a 'shiftwidth'.
|
||
|
The examples below assume a 'shiftwidth' of 4.
|
||
|
*cino->*
|
||
|
>N Amount added for "normal" indent. Used after a line that should
|
||
|
increase the indent (lines starting with "if", an opening brace,
|
||
|
etc.). (default 'shiftwidth').

eN Add N to the prevailing indent inside a set of braces if the

opening brace at the End of the line (more precise: is not the

first character in a line). This is useful if you want a
|
||
|
different indent when the '{' is at the start of the line from

|
when '{' is at the end of the line. (default 0).

c3,C0,/0,(2s,us,U0,w0,W0,k0,m0,j0,J0,)20,*70,#0
|
||
|
|
||
|
Vim puts a line in column 1 if:
|
||
|
- It starts with '#' (preprocessor directives), if 'cinkeys' contains '#'.
|
||
|
- It starts with a label (a keyword followed by ':', other than "case" and
|
||
|
"default") and 'cinoptions' does not contain an 'L' entry with a positive
|
||
|
value.
|
||
|
- Any combination of indentations causes the line to have less than 0
|
||
|
indentation.

2. Indenting by expression *indent-expression*
|
||
|
|
||
|
The basics for using flexible indenting are explained in section |30.3| of the
|
||
|
user manual.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to write your own indent file, it must set the 'indentexpr'
|
||
|
option. Setting the 'indentkeys' option is often useful. See the
|
||
|
$VIMRUNTIME/indent directory for examples.

REMARKS ABOUT SPECIFIC INDENT FILES ~
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
CLOJURE *ft-clojure-indent* *clojure-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Clojure indentation differs somewhat from traditional Lisps, due in part to
|
||
|
the use of square and curly brackets, and otherwise by community convention.
|
||
|
These conventions are not always universally followed, so the Clojure indent
|
||
|
script offers a few configurable options, listed below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the current vim does not include searchpairpos(), the indent script falls
|
||
|
back to normal 'lisp' indenting, and the following options are ignored.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*g:clojure_maxlines*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set maximum scan distance of searchpairpos(). Larger values trade performance
|
||
|
for correctness when dealing with very long forms. A value of 0 will scan
|
||
|
without limits.
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
" Default
|
||
|
let g:clojure_maxlines = 100
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
|
||
|
*g:clojure_fuzzy_indent*
|
||
|
*g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns*
|
||
|
*g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist*
|
||
|
|
||
|
The 'lispwords' option is a list of comma-separated words that mark special
|
||
|
forms whose subforms must be indented with two spaces.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
(defn bad []
|
||
|
"Incorrect indentation")
|
||
|
|
||
|
(defn good []
|
||
|
"Correct indentation")
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
If you would like to specify 'lispwords' with a |pattern| instead, you can use
|
||
|
the fuzzy indent feature:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
" Default
|
||
|
let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent = 1
|
||
|
let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns = ['^with', '^def', '^let']
|
||
|
let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist =
|
||
|
\ ['-fn$', '\v^with-%(meta|out-str|loading-context)$']
|
||
|
|
||
|
" Legacy comma-delimited string version; the list format above is
|
||
|
" recommended. Note that patterns are implicitly anchored with ^ and $
|
||
|
let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns = 'with.*,def.*,let.*'
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns| and |g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist| are
|
||
|
|Lists| of patterns that will be matched against the unquoted, unqualified
|
||
|
symbol at the head of a list. This means that a pattern like "^foo" will match
|
||
|
all these candidates: "foobar", "my.ns/foobar", and "#'foobar".
|
||
|
|
||
|
Each candidate word is tested for special treatment in this order:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Return true if word is literally in 'lispwords'
|
||
|
2. Return false if word matches a pattern in
|
||
|
|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist|
|
||
|
3. Return true if word matches a pattern in
|
||
|
|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns|
|
||
|
4. Return false and indent normally otherwise
|
||
|
|
||
|
*g:clojure_special_indent_words*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some forms in Clojure are indented so that every subform is indented only two
|
||
|
spaces, regardless of 'lispwords'. If you have a custom construct that should
|
||
|
be indented in this idiosyncratic fashion, you can add your symbols to the
|
||
|
default list below.

||
|

|
<
|
||
|
|
||

*g:clojure_align_multiline_strings*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Align subsequent lines in multiline strings to the column after the opening
|
||
|
quote, instead of the same column.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example:

||
|

FORTRAN *ft-fortran-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Block if, select case, where, and forall constructs are indented. So are
|
||
|
type, interface, associate, block, and enum constructs. The indenting of
|
||
|
subroutines, functions, modules, and program blocks is optional. Comments,
|
||
|
labelled statements and continuation lines are indented if the Fortran is in
|
||
|
free source form, whereas they are not indented if the Fortran is in fixed
|
||
|
source form because of the left margin requirements. Hence manual indent
|
||
|
corrections will be necessary for labelled statements and continuation lines
|
||
|
when fixed source form is being used. For further discussion of the method
|
||
|
used for the detection of source format see |ft-fortran-syntax|.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Do loops ~
|
||
|
All do loops are left unindented by default. Do loops can be unstructured in
|
||
|
Fortran with (possibly multiple) loops ending on a labelled executable
|
||
|
statement of almost arbitrary type. Correct indentation requires
|
||
|
compiler-quality parsing. Old code with do loops ending on labelled statements
|
||
|
of arbitrary type can be indented with elaborate programs such as Tidy
|
||
|
(http://www.unb.ca/chem/ajit/f_tidy.htm). Structured do/continue loops are
|
||
|
also left unindented because continue statements are also used for purposes
|
||
|
other than ending a do loop. Programs such as Tidy can convert structured
|
||
|
do/continue loops to the do/enddo form. Do loops of the do/enddo variety can
|
||
|
be indented. If you use only structured loops of the do/enddo form, you should
|
||
|
declare this by setting the fortran_do_enddo variable in your .vimrc as
|
||
|
follows >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let fortran_do_enddo=1
|
||
|
|
||
|
in which case do loops will be indented. If all your loops are of do/enddo
|
||
|
type only in, say, .f90 files, then you should set a buffer flag with an
|
||
|
autocommand such as >
|
||
|
|
||
|
au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.f90 let b:fortran_do_enddo=1
|
||
|
|
||
|
to get do loops indented in .f90 files and left alone in Fortran files with
|
||
|
other extensions such as .for.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Program units ~
|
||
|
The indenting of program units (subroutines, functions, modules, and program
|
||
|
blocks) is enabled by default but can be suppressed if a lighter, screen-width
|
||
|
preserving indent style is desired. To suppress the indenting of program
|
||
|
units for all fortran files set the global fortran_indent_less variable in
|
||
|
your .vimrc as follows >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let fortran_indent_less=1
|
||
|
|
||
|
A finer level of suppression can be achieved by setting the corresponding
|
||
|
buffer-local variable as follows >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let b:fortran_indent_less=1
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
HTML *ft-html-indent* *html-indent* *html-indenting*
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is about variables you can set in your vimrc to customize HTML indenting.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can set the indent for the first line after <script> and <style>
|
||
|
"blocktags" (default "zero"): >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:let g:html_indent_script1 = "inc"
|
||
|
:let g:html_indent_style1 = "inc"
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
VALUE MEANING ~
|
||
|
"zero" zero indent
|
||
|
"auto" auto indent (same indent as the blocktag)
|
||
|
"inc" auto indent + one indent step
|
||
|
|
||
|
Many tags increase the indent for what follows per default (see "Add Indent
|
||
|
Tags" in the script). You can add further tags with: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:let g:html_indent_inctags = "html,body,head,tbody"
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can also remove such tags with: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:let g:html_indent_autotags = "th,td,tr,tfoot,thead"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default value is empty for both variables. Note: the initial "inctags" are
|
||
|
only defined once per Vim session.
|
||
|
|
||
|
User variables are only read when the script is sourced. To enable your
|
||
|
changes during a session, without reloading the HTML file, you can manually
|
||
|
do: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:call HtmlIndent_CheckUserSettings()
|
||
|

PHP *ft-php-indent* *php-indent* *php-indenting*
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: PHP files will be indented correctly only if PHP |syntax| is active.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are editing a file in Unix 'fileformat' and '\r' characters are present
|
||
|
before new lines, indentation won't proceed correctly ; you have to remove
|
||
|
those useless characters first with a command like: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:%s /\r$//g
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or, you can simply |:let| the variable PHP_removeCRwhenUnix to 1 and the
|
||
|
script will silently remove them when Vim loads a PHP file (at each |BufRead|).
|
||
|
|
||
|
OPTIONS: ~
|
||
|
|
||
|
PHP indenting can be altered in several ways by modifying the values of some
|
||
|
global variables:
|
||
|
|
||
|
*php-comment*
|
||
|
To not enable auto-formating of comments by default (if you want to use your
|
||
|
own 'formatoptions'): >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_autoformatcomment = 0
|
||
|
|
||
|
Else, 't' will be removed from the 'formatoptions' string and "qrowcb" will be
|
||
|
added, see |fo-table| for more information.
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To add extra indentation to single-line comments: >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_outdentSLComments = N
|
||
|
|
||
|
With N being the number of 'shiftwidth' to add.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Only single-line comments will be affected such as: >
|
||
|
# Comment
|
||
|
// Comment
|
||
|
/* Comment */
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To add extra indentation to every PHP lines with N being the number of
|
||
|
'shiftwidth' to add: >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_default_indenting = N
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, with N = 1, this will give:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
<?php
|
||
|
if (!isset($History_lst_sel))
|
||
|
if (!isset($History_lst_sel))
|
||
|
if (!isset($History_lst_sel)) {
|
||
|
$History_lst_sel=0;
|
||
|
} else
|
||
|
$foo="bar";
|
||
|
|
||
|
$command_hist = TRUE;
|
||
|
?>
|
||
|
(Notice the extra indentation between the PHP container markers and the code)
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To indent PHP tags as the surrounding code: >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_outdentphpescape = 0
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To automatically remove '\r' characters when the 'fileformat' is set to Unix: >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_removeCRwhenUnix = 1
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To indent braces at the same level than the code they contain: >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_BracesAtCodeLevel = 1
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will give the following result: >
|
||
|
if ($foo)
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
foo();
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
Instead of: >

if ($foo)
|

{
|

foo();
|

}
|

|
NOTE: Indenting will be a bit slower if this option is used because some
|
||
|
optimizations won't be available.

To indent 'case:' and 'default:' statements in switch() blocks: >
|
||
|
:let g:PHP_vintage_case_default_indent = 1
|
||
|
|
||
|
In PHP braces are not required inside 'case/default' blocks therefore 'case:'
|
||
|
and 'default:' are indented at the same level than the 'switch()' to avoid
|
||
|
meaningless indentation. You can use the above option to return to the
|
||
|
traditional way.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|

|
PYTHON *ft-python-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
The amount of indent can be set for the following situations. The examples
|
||
|
given are the defaults. Note that the variables are set to an expression, so
|
||
|
that you can change the value of 'shiftwidth' later.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Indent after an open paren: >
|
||
|
let g:pyindent_open_paren = '&sw * 2'
|
||
|
Indent after a nested paren: >
|
||
|
let g:pyindent_nested_paren = '&sw'
|
||
|
Indent for a continuation line: >
|
||
|
let g:pyindent_continue = '&sw * 2'
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
R *ft-r-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Function arguments are aligned if they span for multiple lines. If you prefer
|
||
|
do not have the arguments of functions aligned, put in your |vimrc|:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
let r_indent_align_args = 0
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
All lines beginning with a comment character, #, get the same indentation
|
||
|
level of the normal R code. Users of Emacs/ESS may be used to have lines
|
||
|
beginning with a single # indented in the 40th column, ## indented as R code,
|
||
|
and ### not indented. If you prefer that lines beginning with comment
|
||
|
characters are aligned as they are by Emacs/ESS, put in your |vimrc|:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
let r_indent_ess_comments = 1
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
If you prefer that lines beginning with a single # are aligned at a column
|
||
|
different from the 40th one, you should set a new value to the variable
|
||
|
r_indent_comment_column, as in the example below:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
let r_indent_comment_column = 30
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
Any code after a line that ends with "<-" is indented. Emacs/ESS does not
|
||
|
indent the code if it is a top level function. If you prefer that the
|
||
|
Vim-R-plugin behaves like Emacs/ESS in this regard, put in your |vimrc|:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
let r_indent_ess_compatible = 1
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
Below is an example of indentation with and without this option enabled:
|
||
|
>
|
||
|
### r_indent_ess_compatible = 1 ### r_indent_ess_compatible = 0
|
||
|
foo <- foo <-
|
||
|
function(x) function(x)
|
||
|
{ {
|
||
|
paste(x) paste(x)
|
||
|
} }
|
||
|
<
|
||
|
|
||
|
SHELL *ft-sh-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
The amount of indent applied under various circumstances in a shell file can
|
||
|
be configured by setting the following keys in the |Dictionary|
|
||
|
b:sh_indent_defaults to a specific amount or to a |Funcref| that references a
|
||
|
function that will return the amount desired:
|
||
|
|
||
|
b:sh_indent_options['default'] Default amount of indent.
|
||
|
|
||
|
b:sh_indent_options['continuation-line']
|
||
|
Amount of indent to add to a continued line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
b:sh_indent_options['case-labels']
|
||
|
Amount of indent to add for case labels.
|
||
|
(not actually implemented)
|
||
|
|
||
|
b:sh_indent_options['case-statements']
|
||
|
Amount of indent to add for case statements.
|
||
|
|
||
|
b:sh_indent_options['case-breaks']
|
||
|
Amount of indent to add (or more likely
|
||
|
remove) for case breaks.
|
||
|
|
||
|
VERILOG *ft-verilog-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
General block statements such as if, for, case, always, initial, function,
|
||
|
specify and begin, etc., are indented. The module block statements (first
|
||
|
level blocks) are not indented by default. you can turn on the indent with
|
||
|
setting a variable in the .vimrc as follows: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1
|
||
|
|
||
|
then the module blocks will be indented. To stop this, remove the variable: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:unlet b:verilog_indent_modules
|
||
|
|
||
|
To set the variable only for Verilog file. The following statements can be
|
||
|
used: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
au BufReadPost * if exists("b:current_syntax")
|
||
|
au BufReadPost * if b:current_syntax == "verilog"
|
||
|
au BufReadPost * let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1
|
||
|
au BufReadPost * endif
|
||
|
au BufReadPost * endif
|
||
|
|
||
|
Furthermore, setting the variable b:verilog_indent_width to change the
|
||
|
indenting width (default is 'shiftwidth'): >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let b:verilog_indent_width = 4
|
||
|
let b:verilog_indent_width = &sw * 2
|
||
|
|
||
|
In addition, you can turn the verbose mode for debug issue: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let b:verilog_indent_verbose = 1
|
||
|
|
||
|
Make sure to do ":set cmdheight=2" first to allow the display of the message.

VHDL *ft-vhdl-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
Alignment of generic/port mapping statements are performed by default. This
|
||
|
causes the following alignment example: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
ENTITY sync IS
|
||
|
PORT (
|
||
|
clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
|
||
|
reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC;
|
||
|
data_input : IN STD_LOGIC;
|
||
|
data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC
|
||
|
);
|
||
|
END ENTITY sync;
|
||
|
|
||
|
To turn this off, add >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let g:vhdl_indent_genportmap = 0
|
||
|
|
||
|
to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
ENTITY sync IS
|
||
|
PORT (
|
||
|
clk : IN STD_LOGIC;
|
||
|
reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC;
|
||
|
data_input : IN STD_LOGIC;
|
||
|
data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC
|
||
|
);
|
||
|
END ENTITY sync;
|
||
|
|
||
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Alignment of right-hand side assignment "<=" statements are performed by
|
||
|
default. This causes the following alignment example: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND
|
||
|
(sig_b OR sig_c)) OR
|
||
|
(bus_a(0) AND sig_d);
|
||
|
|
||
|
To turn this off, add >
|
||
|
|
||
|
let g:vhdl_indent_rhsassign = 0
|
||
|
|
||
|
to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND
|
||
|
(sig_b OR sig_c)) OR
|
||
|
(bus_a(0) AND sig_d);
|
||
|
|
||
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Full-line comments (lines that begin with "--") are indented to be aligned with
|
||
|
the very previous line's comment, PROVIDED that a whitespace follows after
|
||
|
"--".
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
sig_a <= sig_b; -- start of a comment
|
||
|
-- continuation of the comment
|
||
|
-- more of the same comment
|
||
|
|
||
|
While in Insert mode, after typing "-- " (note the space " "), hitting CTRL-F
|
||
|
will align the current "-- " with the previous line's "--".
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the very previous line does not contain "--", THEN the full-line comment
|
||
|
will be aligned with the start of the next non-blank line that is NOT a
|
||
|
full-line comment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Indenting the following code: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0
|
||
|
-- comment 1
|
||
|
-- comment 2
|
||
|
--debug_code:
|
||
|
--PROCESS(debug_in)
|
||
|
--BEGIN
|
||
|
-- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP
|
||
|
-- debug_out(8*i+7 DOWNTO 8*i) <= debug_in(15-i);
|
||
|
-- END LOOP;
|
||
|
--END PROCESS debug_code;
|
||
|
|
||
|
-- comment 3
|
||
|
sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4
|
||
|
-- comment 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
results in: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0
|
||
|
-- comment 1
|
||
|
-- comment 2
|
||
|
--debug_code:
|
||
|
--PROCESS(debug_in)
|
||
|
--BEGIN
|
||
|
-- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP
|
||
|
-- debug_out(8*i+7 DOWNTO 8*i) <= debug_in(15-i);
|
||
|
-- END LOOP;
|
||
|
--END PROCESS debug_code;
|
||
|
|
||
|
-- comment 3
|
||
|
sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4
|
||
|
-- comment 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
Notice that "--debug_code:" does not align with "-- comment 2"
|
||
|
because there is no whitespace that follows after "--" in "--debug_code:".
|
||
|
|
||
|
Given the dynamic nature of indenting comments, indenting should be done TWICE.
|
||
|
On the first pass, code will be indented. On the second pass, full-line
|
||
|
comments will be indented according to the correctly indented code.
|
||
|
|

||
|
VIM *ft-vim-indent*
|
||
|
|
||
|
For indenting Vim scripts there is one variable that specifies the amount of
|
||
|
indent for a continuation line, a line that starts with a backslash: >
|
||
|
|
||
|
:let g:vim_indent_cont = &sw * 3
|
||
|
|
||
|
Three times shiftwidth is the default value.
