How do I make text wrapping match current indentation level in vim?

Question

Does anyone know of a way to get vim to wrap long lines of text such that the position of the wrapped text is based on the indentation of the current line? I don\'t want to

Answer 1

For controlling the indentation of Python code, see :h ft-python-indent. This for example will make Vim indent two times the shiftwidth if you do a newline while there's an unclosed paren:

let g:pyindent_open_paren = '&sw * 2'

However &sw * 2 is the default, so not sure why it's not working for you. It works for me with manual newlines or with textwidth-induced newlines.

The above setting needs to be in .vimrc or needs to be set somehow before Vim enters Python mode. Be sure to :setf python or that you're otherwise in Python mode.
