It has nothing to do with vim's idea of indentation, automatic or otherwise. The control-D ("outdent" or "unindent") operation is the opposite not of tab, but of control-T ("indent"). Both use the setting of shiftwidth, not tabstop. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
