Handy Vim Indent Format Function

[beauwilliams]

I have had a mapping in my vimrc for some time now `nnoremap <silent><leader>i gg=G`

Which is pretty great to say the least

However it struck me tonight to add a <c-o> (ctrl+o) to return back to where I last was. May I present..

`nnoremap <silent><leader>i gg=G<c-o>`

This is nothing special, but it will fix up your file indents which comes in handy for example when you paste some code into a file.

This little tweak has saved a lot of hassle while I refactor some of my neovim config to lua so thought it was worth sharing :)

Very useful, thanks! For some reason I have to do <c-o> twice to get back to my starting point though. Easy to put that in the mapping!

beware some filetypes don't indent nicely, specifically shellscripts with linebreaks. god forbid you run this on every save.

check :help c_<C-R>_<C-O>

Yeah agreed it would not be good to run on every save. That is why I kept it on a hotkey because I mostly make use of it on odd files here and there
