Why >G keyboard sequence indents line Eight spaces when book show ident as Two spaces ?
My computer is running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. I connect to remote Linux Machine using telnet utility. My shell is bash.
I invoked Vim version 8.0.
I'm following a example from book, Practical Vim Second Edition.
The book asks to press certain keyboard sequence to indent Two spaces but the line is indented Eight spaces. Please see attached.
I don't have vimrc file. Whether I run default vimrc or not, I get the same result.
