How can I manually enter tabs (possibly .vimrc file)?

问题

Whenever I try to enter tabs in vim, it just enters 4 spaces. I am currently writing a makefile so I need to be able to enter literal tabs. Any ideas?

回答1:

Remove set expandtab from (or use set noexpandtab in) your .vimrc.

To insert a literal tab when expandtab is on, you can use Ctrl+vTab (or Ctrl+qTab on windows with the default settings)

回答2:

in your .vimrc you want set noexpandtab

回答3:

To the best of my knowledge, expandtab is automatically reset for Makefile

:verbose set et?

shows

noexpandtab
    Last set from C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73\ftplugin\make.vim

even though I have se et in my $MYVIMRC

Try adding

filetype plugin on

to your $MYVIMRC
