- # Problem
- How do I indent a list item in Vim the following way? Ideally I want
- this to happen automatically upon wrap, but will settle for something
- like `ESC TAB` doing the trick.
## Have- ```txt
- This is a list:
- 1. This is a list item.
- 2. This is a long list item that I am wrapping at 72 characters which
- contains nonsense to hit that limit.
- 3. This is a list item that emphasizes the effect.
- ```
## Want- ```txt
- This is a list:
- 1. This is a list item.
- 2. This is a long list item that I am wrapping at 72 characters
- which contains nonsense to hit that limit.
- 3. This is a list item that emphasizes the effect.
- ```
- # Tried
- I have the following in my `.vimrc`:
- ```vimrc
- set tw=72
- set autoindent
- set smartindent
- ```
- `set autoindent` will correctly indent subsequent lines if I manually
- indent the first wrapped line. I have not observed a difference with
- `set smartindent`.
- # Notes
- I am using Vim and spacemacs, but only need an answer for Vim.
- In spacemacs I can `TAB` the first line to the right place in
- `text-mode`; in `markdown-mode`, the line is wrapped (auto-filled)
- correctly without action.
