When I use `gqap’ command to reflow a paragraph in vim, vim seems to try to be smart and adds indentation automatically, e.g.

  • When a line ends with a ‘,’:
 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2),    offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute    and/or modify the software.
  • When a line has unmatched brackets:
 Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without         limitation in the term 'modification'.) Each licensee is addressed as 'you'.

Is there a way to turn this off?

Thanks!

  1. What filetype do you do this in? And what is the output of ‘:set’?

    If you copy your texts to an empty file, it formats it the way you want it. I have smartindent and autoindent enabled, so you could try that. (set si, set ai)
