Automatic indentation is enabled with the command:
:set autoindent
The shift is the value of
shiftwidth
which has a default of 8.
Four special input sequences affect automatic indentation:
^T Add one level of indentation; typed in insert mode
^D Remove one level of indentation; typed in insert mode
^ ^D Shift the cursor back to the beginning of the line,
but only for the current line
0 ^D Shift the cursor back to the beginning of the line,
and reset the autoindent level to 0
Two commands exist for shifting source code:
<< Shift a line left shiftwidth spaces
>> Shift a line right shiftwidth spaces
