Indenting Code

Vim provides == and = as tools to aide in keeping your code formatted and tidy. Double equal can be used to quickly properly indent the current line. Similarly, 10== will indent 10 lines, inclusive of the one you’re one.

There are a few options to achieve the same result:

• 4== will indent the current line, and the next three.
• =ap will indent Around the current Paragraph. Having no empty lines, this method qualifies as a paragraph.
• =% will indent to the the end of the method. Note this implies the use of the matchit plugin. But % works with common curly brace blocks, parens, etc out of the box.
• V3j= will do a visual select on the current line and the three below and apply indenting to them.
• Lastly, the nuclear option gg=G can be used to indent an entire file.
