Vim indentation fails when copy paste

Before pasting, turn off auto-indent using:

:se noai

Select allOpen in new window

unfortunately, it does not help.

// noai

void print_syslog(char *message)
{
        openlog("ejudgelog", LOG_CONS|LOG_PID,LOG_USER);
            syslog(LOG_INFO, message);
                closelog();
}


// ai
void print_syslog(char *message)
{
        openlog("ejudgelog", LOG_CONS|LOG_PID,LOG_USER);
            syslog(LOG_INFO, message);
                closelog();
}

Select allOpen in new window

Hmm, it does the trick for me but maybe something else is going on, because your last } doesn't indent while it does for me with auto-indent on.

Could you post the output of ":se" and ":se all" please? maybe there's an option set I don't realize has something to do with this. Maybe something to do with tabs in general or a language specific setting.

Also, could you try under a different user? Maybe it's a setting in your config (.vimrc?) which would make it easier to pin down.

I have not set anything in .vimrc

What am I suppose to do in .vimrc?

In .vimrc you can set options you want as default (amongst others).

it looks like it could be the expandtab setting, which is not set in my vim. So maybe try ":se noet"

But also "cindent" and "syntax=cpp" which seems to indicate indentation specifically for the C language, which I haven't used.

I have an old version with a lot less options:

Gerwin Jansen, great.
This solved problem.


I have tryied to remove

set expandtab

Select allOpen in new window

from .vimrc
But that does not helped.
