Question

I noted that shiftwidth is used to indent text.

This is my shiftwidth setting in _vimrc:

set shiftwidth=1

I don’t want to change it. I use it for other functions.

But… I want to indent with 2 spaces like this:

--function-myfunction()
----1st-block
------2nd-block
--------3rd-block
--------end3rd-block
------end2nd-block
----end1st-block
--endfunction

- = 1 space

Is this possible?

This are my indent settings in _vimrc:

set autoindent  
set cindent  
set cinkeys=!^F  

Answer 1

You can setlocal, for example:

:setl sw=2

It doesn’t change global settings.
