Correct indentation for description text

[schoettl]

Previous title: Indent in description gets lost when pressing <Esc> on empty line

Hi, first, thank you for this plugin! I think I really like it.

I just have a problem with indentation, e.g. I write this note:

* header
  indentation here is correct, then I type <CR> and
  press <Esc> to use \sa (insert date)
<2016-07-04 Mon>
  this is what happens. <C-t> / <Tab> (in insert mode)
  or >> (in normal mode) yields a wrong indentanion
  on this line

Is there a way to fix this? Or is it maybe because of my Vim configuration?

Vim remove autoindents on empty line when quit insert mode. To avoid this, a workaround could be

inoremap <esc> x<BS><esc>

Thank you Ron, ok that would work.

But I think this still might be general problem. Apart from that, I am not a fan of empty lines with white spaces.

What do you think of integrating mappings for >>, <Tab>, and <C-t> to indent correctly? Or only <C-t> for now?. I guess, such mappings would have to calculate the indent size dynamically. But it might be a usefull and comprehensive solution.

I found the variable to disable indent for descriptions:

" default: 1; 0 solves the indentation problems
let g:org_indent = 0

I actually think 0 shoud be the default because it prevents many indentation problems.

[Ron89]

I agree. It is actually what I did in my setting as well. And if I remember correctly, it is also the default of emacs's org mode. @jceb, your opinion?

You're right, Ron. Indentation is not default in emac's orgmode but must be turned on with org-indent-mode. Also, in emac's orgmode, it's only indented for display!

this kind of view can be achieved dynamically at display time using org-indent-mode.

OK, I just changed the default value like you suggested. :)

[schoettl]

Thank you :) I'll close this issue. And I have a pull request to update the documentation.

The whole indentation thing is different in Emacs orgmode as far as I can tell.  I observed that Emacs doesn't indent descriptions and level 1 lists at all but adds virtual visual indentation to everything below a heading.  I'd recommend that we adapt this for vim as well.

So g:org_indent should be 0 by default.  However, I'm not sure if this will break indentation for sub items in lists.  Sub items should be indented properly.

list/checkbox indentation is independent. This won’t break list structure.
