vim-sleuth VS vim-polyglot

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

I'm currently on an old setup (using coc and polyglot) and nvim v0.6.1. I'll be updating to a more modern setup within next year, using the native lsp and building nvim more frequently. But that's not today.

So I did some digging and I found out that vim-polyglot uses a different syntax file than Vim's default for PHP files. When I loaded vim-polyglot's syntax file into my ~/.vim/syntax, I encountered the same issue as you.

Try this: https://github.com/sheerun/vim-polyglot You can install plugin or copy-paste files for desired filetype

I think you mean vim-polyglot? Great plugin. Pre-treesitter it was indespensible.

Usually this is handled inside the :compiler scripts. vim-polyglot is a collection of ftplugins that includes a bunch of :compiler plugins.

Get polyglot installed in your vimfiles/pack//start folder along with whatever 4 Tim Pope plugins you love the most and :CocInstall your LSP(s)

https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox and https://github.com/sheerun/vim-polyglot are Vim plugins that work in Neovim, but they don't allow you to use treesitter, so if you don't want to use treesitter use them.
