Have you tried :set cindent ? 'autoindent' simply maintains the indentation level, cindent does much more with C-like code (I use it for C++ and Java as well). Also check out :help formatoptions :help comments I really like vim's features and can't stand the lack of them in original vi. Things like being able to backspace past this insert session, cindent mode, syntax highlighting, etc. I used to use Nedit to code because vi didn't have any of those features (the "vi" command on a Solaris 7 (or less) box). When I found out how to config vim to behave properly I promptly switched (after trying emacs for a little while). -D
