Vim Settings to make new line after opening bracket only indent once

[oxinabox]

By default if one writes the following, pressing enter after the opening ( then the next character pressed will be where the x is:

function my_long_function_name(
                               x

but what the style-guide recommends is:

function my_long_function_name(
    x

I suspect the answer is super fiddly https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=754

will probably need to look at :help indentexpr and :help indent-expression

I've been using this fork of julia-vim which fixes the above problem for me. I guess the relevant changes are in this file.

OMG that's amazing! @sdl1 you're a hero. @tom--lee is a hero.

(@ararslan, does this fix your biggest gripe about BlueStyle?)

Plug 'tom--lee/julia-vim' (using vim-plug) was enough to solve this problem for me 💙

I guess the relevant changes are in this file.

Seems the relevant changes are https://github.com/tom--lee/julia-vim/commit/40649c9cab3fb95ca7104f17882483ba53b74197

Happy others have found this useful! But be aware my changes were a bit of a hack-job and the fork is well behind the upstream master. That said, I have been using it for a couple of years with no trouble.

There are now options for this in the main julia-vim plugin

It would be useful if someone can workout exactly what we want to set them to and add it the section of the instructions on configuring vim.
