Hi,

Apologies if it has been asked or answered already. How do I enable code formatting (e.g. correct alignment of brackets, indentation within loops, etc).

At the moment my .vimrc contains:

if has('filetype')
filetype indent plugin on
endif

But it does not seem to do anything useful.

Thanks,

Olga

Delete the lines

if has('filetype')

endif

and put at the very beginning of your vimrc:

filetype indent plugin on
syntax on

Neovim doesn't require these lines in its init.vim because syntax highlighting and indentation are enabled by default.

Thank you. And how can I force formatting code which is already written?

Please, look for "Rformat" in the documentation.
