My VIM won't eat those commands (version 6.1.213) ...

ftplugins are incredibly nice. read ':help ftplugin'.

My $VIM/ftplugin/ruby.vim:

==== cut ====
setlocal expandtab
setlocal shiftwidth=2
setlocal softtabstop=2
setlocal tabstop=2
setlocal indentexpr=GetRubyIndent()
setlocal tw=0
setlocal foldmethod=marker

" when writing a buffer chmod it executable
autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost * :silent !chmod 755 <afile>
==== cut ====

Just read VIMs on-line help on those commands, it's very good. :)


Happy VIMing, Have a nice day
