.vimrc configuration for Python

Question

My current .vimrc configuration is below:

set nohlsearch
set ai
set bg=dark
set showmatch
highlight SpecialKey ctermfg=DarkGray
set listchars=tab:>-,trail         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

filetype indent on
filetype on
filetype plugin on

I primarily do Python programming and this is the brunt of my vimrc

set nobackup
set nowritebackup
set noswapfile
set lines=40
set columns=80
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
set autoindent
set smarttab
filetype indent on
filetype on
filetype plugin on
