Question

I am (slowly) making the switch to vim. I have added some settings to my .vimrc file (:syntax enable, :fileype plugin on, autoindent, etc.). Everything works great except when I try to indent lines using >. It double indents:

<div>
—-<p>this line was autoindented </p>
</div>

<div>
——–<p>this line was indented using the > key </p>
</div>

I am a bit of a vim noob. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Make sure both of the following are set in your .vimrc file

set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
