Prevent mixed tabs and spaces in files you are editing. Expands tab presses to 2 spaces and converts all remaining tabs to spaces on save.

set tabstop=2
set softtabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set smarttab
set expandtab
if has("autocmd")
  au BufReadPost * if &modifiable | retab | endif
endif

indent

This is handy, but I'd sooner make a function for the retabbing instead of an autocmd and then map it. Some specific files depend on actual tabs (some makefiles) so it's not always ideal to automatically retab everything.

Thanks, good point. I shall iterate and improve!

Maybe you can check filetype in au BufReadPost * if &modifiable | retab | endif
