Autoident drives me nuts. Even when I supposedly turned it off it still does 4 spaces in some places and 2 in others. How do I completely turn this thing off?

• detectindent

  1 2 0.0 Vim Script

  Automatically detect indent settings with improved detection over original.

You may want to try detectindent or vim-sleuth to automatically set your indent to match the file -- vim has a lot of indent settings and these plugins should set them consistently. However, if your files often contain a lot of weird/inconsistent whitespace, they won't work very well.

• dotfiles

  8 317 8.8 Shell

  dotfiles for vim, git, zsh, tmux, cwm, xinit, and many others. (by whiteinge)

I added filetype indent off so that indent plugins for the various languages would not automatically execute, and then I set smartindent so that regardless of what kind of file I'm editing it (very!) simply just re-uses the same indent from the previous line. For everything else I just manually ctrl-t/ctrl-d as I type.
