I’m currently using Vim as a lightweight IDE. I have NERDTree, bufexplorer, supertab, and ctags plugins which do almost everything I want. Only big thing missing for me is auto code formatting.
I’m working with some messy PHP code which has inconsistent indenting and code formatting, ideally I could highlight the code I want formatted (whole files would be fine too) and run a command to tidy it.
Does anybody have a nice solution for this working in Vim?
Quick way to fix PHP indentation in vim is to visually select the lines you want to work with using shift–v, and then press equals (=) to trigger auto-formatting.
As for other formatting issues you’re probably looking at employing some regex search and replaces, such as
:%s/^M/\r/g(that’s ctrl–V ctrl–m, not caret–M) to fix line endings
