" get rid of the default style of C comments, and define a style with two stars
" at the start of `middle' rows which (looks nicer and) avoids asterisks used
" for bullet lists being treated like C comments; then define a bullet list
" style for single stars (like already is for hyphens):
set comments+=sl:/*,mb:\ *,ex:*/
 
" treat lines starting with a quote mark as comments (for `Vim' files, such as
" this very one!), and colons as well so that reformatting usenet messages from
" `Tin' users works OK:
set comments+=b:\"
set comments+=n::
 
" Formatting settings for cindent
" -------------------------------
 
"	reformat when the following special keys have been typed
set cinkeys=0{,0},!^F,o,O,e,*<Return>,0#
"	how to format C code
"		> normal indent (1 shiftwidth)
"		e indent for braces starting at the end of a line
"		n indent after a keyword when NOT in braces (don't do
"		    this, it's non-standard)
"		f indent of the first opening brace (braces that are
"		    not in other braces)
"		{ indent of opening brace for braces in other braces
"		} indent of closing brace (relative to matching open brace)
"		^ indent inside braces (relative to current indent)
"		: indent of case labels relative to the switch statement
"		= indent after a case label
"		p indent of K&R style paramter declarations
"		t indent for a function's type declaration
"		+ indentation of a continuation line
"		c indentation of a comment line
"		( indentation when in an unclosed () block
"		) how far to look for an unclosed bracket (5 lines)
"		* how far to look for an unclosed comment (15 lines)
"set cinoptions=>s,e0,n0,}0,^0,:s,=s,ps,ts,(2s,)5,*15,+s,f0,{0
set cinoptions=>s,e0,n0,f0,{0,}0,^0,:s,=s,l0,gs,hs,ps,ts,+s,c3,C0,(0,us,\U0,w0,m0,j0,)20,*30
 
"
" trust me :-)
" since the indenting is handle by the macros, you
" don't need vim to jump and and double the indenting!
set cinwords=
 
"	tell vim not to do screwy things when searching (This is the
"	default value, without c)
set cpoptions=BeFs
 
 
" Shortcut keys
" -------------
 
" setting of a mark
noremap <F1> mA
noremap <F2> mB
noremap <F3> mC
noremap <F4> mD
 
" jumping to a mark
noremap <F5> 'A
noremap <F6> 'B
noremap <F7> 'C
noremap <F8> 'D
 
" toggle background colour
map <F9>        :call ToggleBackgroundColour()<CR>
" toggle paste mode on/off
map <F10>      :set paste!<CR>:set paste?<CR>            
" toggle line numbers
map <F11>      :set number!<CR>:set number?<CR>
 
" File Type Specific Configuration
" --------------------------------
 
" recognize anything in my .Postponed directory as a news article, and anything
" at all with a .txt extension as being human-language text [this clobbers the
" `help' filetype, but that doesn't seem to prevent help from working
" properly]:
augroup filetype
  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.xmap set filetype=xml
  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.txt set filetype=human
  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.p*co set filetype=pico
  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead .myowncshrc set filetype=csh
  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.cc set filetype=cpp
augroup END
 
" in human-language files, automatically format everything at 100 chars:
autocmd FileType mail,human set formatoptions+=t textwidth=100
 
" for C-like programming, have automatic indentation:
autocmd FileType c,cpp,slang,java set cindent showmatch matchtime=2 
 
" for actual C (not C++) programming where comments have explicit end
" characters, if starting a new line in the middle of a comment automatically
" insert the comment leader characters:
autocmd FileType c set formatoptions+=ro
 
" for Perl programming, have things in braces indenting themselves:
autocmd FileType perl set smartindent
 
" for CSS, also have things in braces indented:
autocmd FileType css set smartindent
 
" for HTML, generally format text, but if a long line has been created leave it
" alone when editing:
autocmd FileType html set formatoptions+=tl
 
" for both CSS and HTML, use genuine tab characters for indentation, to make
" files a few bytes smaller:
autocmd FileType html,css set noexpandtab tabstop=2
 
" in makefiles, don't expand tabs to spaces, since actual tab characters are
" needed, and have indentation at 8 chars to be sure that all indents are tabs
" (despite the mappings later):
autocmd FileType make,gms_macro set noexpandtab shiftwidth=8 softtabstop=0 tabstop=8
 
" for lisp based languages
autocmd FileType lisp,scheme set lisp showmatch
 
" for pico language
autocmd FileType pico set syntax=pico lisp showmatch
 
" xslt
autocmd FileType xslt let b:xml_namespace='xsl'
