Well, I do not do this everyday, you have to set expandtab :set expandtab :set shiftwidth=2 I'm not sure of the syntax.... This should be in vim configuration files probably in a ftplugin directory, this is very complicated but I think that the files like .vimre .vim in your home directory are taken in account before the others but I do not remember who overrides who. But I'm sure it is something like that, in doubt hit the F1 key.
