" https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106526/stop-vim-from-messing-up-my-indentation-on-comments
set nosmartindent
set cindent
set cinkeys-=0#
set indentkeys-=0#
As you can see bad advice is easily obtained. I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and have not customized anything so its stock vim. I see the vim package has given me
~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim/
which I have not modified
vim --version

Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
Here is an example of badness when I paste properly formatted code into vim vim blah.go
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"os"
"bytes"
"io"
)
func read_stdin(io_reader io.Reader) (string, error) {
var buffer bytes.Buffer
scanner := bufio.NewScanner( io_reader )
for scanner.Scan() {
buffer.WriteString( scanner.Text() + "\n" )
}
if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
return "", err
}
This auto indent issue pervades many filename suffixes so I am not looking for any suffix specific or source code editing language specific addons.
PS this was never an issue until about a year ago
