Continuation lines use tab and space mixtures about vim-ruby HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm not really good at explaining this, but here's an example screenshot. The first part is Python's continuation style, the second is Ruby's, both with a tabstop of 4 and with list on.

Here's another example:

class Klass
    some_long_var_name = case value
                         when :a
                             do_a
                         when :b
                             do_b
                         end
end

I do think I found the crux of the problem -- it appears that everyting in ruby-vim is based on the column number, which is great if all your tabs are spaces, but not so great if you (like me) are trying to use hard tabs when writing Ruby.

Because of this ruby-vim may just be unsuited to hard tabs, period. I may have to write my own indentation script after all.

Perhaps that's the case. If you can find a way to make the current indent file work with hard tabs, let us know!

I am unable to reproduce the first example using any sane settings for tabstop and shiftwidth (4, 4). Tabstop actually doesn’t matter as the only thing that matters here is expandtab and shiftwidth.

The second example is indented correctly.

I suggest that you don’t use tabs, as no one else seems to be using them for Ruby, and that you keep your indentation level to the standard 2.

I am closing this as I can’t reproduce it.
