I have set autoindent in my vimrc at the moment, and it's working how I wanted. However, if I skip over a line that it has auto-indented, the indents are removed after I hit enter or move with the arrow keys.

What I want:

(TAB)(TAB)//Some code here
(TAB)(TAB)
(TAB)(TAB)//Some more code here

What I get (if I begin from the first line):

(TAB)(TAB)//Some code here

(TAB)(TAB)//Some more code here

How do I keep the tabs from the line I kept blank for organization? I've tried using cindent and smartindent but I haven't gotten any good results.
