Agreed.

Agreed.

Its because most of us use the following settings in our ~/.vimrc
set expandtab
set tabstop=8
set softtabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4

Just a personal preference. It would not pose a problem with cvs if you
use tabs in your code, just don't replace existing code with it. The major
reason why I used it is that tabs are 8 spaces and I indent my conde with 4.
Also using the excelent feature in vi to move text left or right (press '<' for
example) converts all the tabs on these lines to spaces.

Truthfully, I am glad you took the time to hack kword! Every hand is usefull!

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
