Transitioning to vim. Having issues with indentation

Question

I am recovering from a surgery, thusly, I am transitioning to VIM. As I starting point, I\'ve opted to use the vim-sensible plugin as the foundation of my configuration. Addit

Answer 1

In my vimrc I have the following:

set autoindent
set expandtabs
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=4

Actually I just have

set ai et sw=4 ts=4

You can change the specific settings using FileType or BufEnter:

autocmd BufEnter *.py ai et sw=4 ts=4
