Javascript indentation in VIM

Question

I\'m trying to get VIM to indent Javascript with the \'=\' and related commands. When I try to auto indent the following, for example:

   new function($) {
              


        

Answer 1

I was having problems the other day with MacVim 7.2 and a Lua file that wouldn't indent correctly -- even after using set syntax, set filetype and filetype indent on, it wasn't indenting the file correctly.

I discovered adding:

filetype plugin indent on

to my .gvimrc file solved the issue, at least for me. YMMV.
