我复制并粘贴到我的。vimrc文件:

" size of a hard tabstop
set tabstop=4

" always uses spaces instead of tab characters
set expandtab

" size of an "indent"
set shiftwidth=4

前两个设置意味着当我按Tab键时，我得到4个空格。 第三个设置意味着当我做V>(即视觉和缩进)时，我也得到了4个空格。

不像公认的答案那么全面，但它可能会帮助那些只想复制和粘贴一些东西的人。

将您想要的设置放在~/。vimrc文件——请参阅下面的一些指导方针和最佳实践。

在Vim中使用标签有四种主要方式:

Always keep 'tabstop' at 8, set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to 4 (or 3 or whatever you prefer) and use 'noexpandtab'. Then Vim will use a mix of tabs and spaces, but typing and will behave like a tab appears every 4 (or 3) characters. Note: Setting 'tabstop' to any other value than 8 can make your file appear wrong in many places (e.g., when printing it). Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use 'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use a |modeline| to set these values when editing the file again. Only works when using Vim to edit the file. Always set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to the same value, and 'noexpandtab'. This should then work (for initial indents only) for any tabstop setting that people use. It might be nice to have tabs after the first non-blank inserted as spaces if you do this though. Otherwise aligned comments will be wrong when 'tabstop' ischanged.

或者vim modeline的简写:

vim :set ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et :

添加一行 将ts = 4 在 ~ /。每个用户的Vimrc文件 或 /etc/vimrc文件用于整个系统
