I use vim since almost 20 years and recently someone told me about the usage of = key for indenting a block of code. Sometimes I try a new vim key but stop using it because it isn't doing exactly what I want or I just don't need the feature. But in this case I find its a nice feature.
So I downloaded vim script 1120 (PHP-correct-Indenting) and installed it. My .vimrc contains:
filetype indent on
set smartindent
Now I can use = to indent a visually marked code block.
But I do NOT want vim to automatically indent code while I am typing. This is just irritating me as I am usually doing indentation myself and I am very much used to it ...
So how can I stop vim from automatically indenting my code while typing but can still continue to use = for indenting a visually marked block of text.
PS: Use hjkl for moving around in vim. It will make you about 1.5 times faster :)
My complete vimrc:
syntax on
set tabstop=3
set shiftwidth=3
execute pathogen#infect()
filetype indent on
set smartindent
Commenting the last two lines stops autoindenting but also using "=" does not use the mentioned vim script anymore

The effect I want can get achieved using:
:set paste
This is exactly(?) the mode I wanted to switch into. No autoindenting at all. But the "=" key works to indent a marked block of text.
Maybe I will add "set paste" to my .vimrc :)
Thanks for your support anyways.

The plugin sets 'indentexpr'
, which controls both explicit reindenting via =
as well as indenting-as-you-type. Fortunately, you can control the triggering of the latter via the 'indentkeys'
option, so clearing that should work.
Put the following into ~/.vim/after/indent/php.vim
; this way, it'll apply after the plugin:
setlocal indentkeys=
