Question

Consider the following block of code-

if (1==1):#Go forever
    print "Wooo."

Vim doesn’t see the :, due to the comment, so it insists that the print should be at the same indent level as the “if”

using http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=974

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Find this in the .vim file:

" If the previous line ended with a colon, indent relative to
" statement start.
if pline =~ ':\s*$'

change it to…

" If the previous line ended with a colon, indent relative to
" statement start.
if pline =~ ':\s*\(#.*\)\?$'

That will make it also match lines that end with a colon followed by a comment.
