vim-addon-local-vimrc VS vim-sleuth

You can? I'd never heard of this. Until now, I'd always used MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc. It works okay but if there's something built-in I'd much prefer that.

https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc does the job just fine.

Project-specific editor config: vim-localvimrc, vim-addon-local-vimrc

vim-addon-local-vimrc (project-local settings in a secure way, never use project-local settings without)

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not set your Neovim to automatically load such a file. Vim script files contain executable code and you do not want to load executable code unconditionally, that's a massive vulnerability. And no, setting the secure option does not help. I use this plugin which makes me first confirm that I want to load the file. From then on it will only automatically load the file if it has not been changed. If the file has changed it will prompt me again.

Try vim-addon-local-vimrc to load a project specific vimrc or vim-ctrlspace to load session infos.

I like monotasking - no plugins eating up screen real estate - so I use [vim-projectionist](https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist) and [vim-addon-local-vimrc](https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc). Projectionist allows me to capture the structure of my project: 'view', 'controller', 'test', 'component', 'feature-x-component', whatever. vim-addon-local-vimrc lets me configure projectionist (and other vim plugins) for my particular project.

Plugin: vim addon local vimrc

In addition to setting tabstop and shiftwidth, you might also like this plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth

vim-sleuth auto detects tab size so...

Just add https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth and never worry about it again.

At the end of the day I don't really care which a project goes with, I've always just used vim-sleuth to automatically set my tab key to input whatever the current file's indentation is.

VsCode has an internal function from auto-detecting indentation, while my config uses vim-sleuth with indent-blankline.nvim.

If you work a lot on legacy codebases, https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth is probably more what you need than editorconfig, as it will work even when one is not present.

The primary advantage of using it is that it has built in heuristics for detecting line wrapping when opening a file (with some Treesitter magic for Markdown to make it more accurate), and also allows for manual swapping between wrapping types. You can think of it as the wrapping equivalent to vim-sleuth.

I just found about Tim Pope's sleuth: https://github.com/tpope/vim-sleuth It supports editorconfig but it also seems to have just better heuristics when an editorconfig file isn't present, so I just decided to replace `editorconfig-vim` with it.

Another solution is try sleuth.vim, that sets automatically your indentation based on the project, buffer and editorconfig
