The top voted solution here is undesirable, because it opens up a ton of tiny windows if there are a lot of matches. I still have not found a satisfactory solution to this. – void-pointer Jan 21 '15 at 16:37

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

Perhaps better phrased as: "How can I set a default tab width for a specific file type"? As this is, AFAIK, not a Java-specific question. – Carpetsmoker Jan 6 '15 at 23:21

@Carpetsmoker good suggestion, thx – guido Jan 6 '15 at 23:24

I don't think we want to allow "does vim has a plugin for foo"-type of questions, for the same reason that SO (& most other?) SE sites disallow it... Not all is lost for this question, though. Phrased as "How can I check Python source code for syntax errors from within Vim" (or some such) doesn't suffer from the "recommend me a foo" problem, and also opens up the question for answers which don't use a plugin to solve this problem (which is not just possible but also easy). – Carpetsmoker Jan 6 '15 at 23:20

@Carpetsmoker, Good observation. I've updated the question. – drs Jan 9 '15 at 0:07

It might also be good to have a comparison of existing plugin managers. – void-pointer Jan 21 '15 at 16:53

	I'm not sure if this is a good question, as such ... It seems to be asking for "off-site resources", which is considered Off-Topic for most SE sites... Maybe a better question is to ask "How do I install a plugin in Vim?" – Carpetsmoker Jan 21 '15 at 1:37
	@Carpetsmoker I'm not so sure. If this were asked on U&L or AskUbuntu, I'd expect to see answers mentioning vundle, or vim-addon-manager, and perhaps guides on installing them, but not installing other non-plugin-managing plugins. – muru Jan 21 '15 at 14:56

This sounds to me like something that should be handled by your input device or OS. You can use a ton of remaps in Vim but I don't think it would be a good solution. – superjer Jan 22 '15 at 2:28

	This seems 1) asking for a link to the documentation (ie. not a real question), and 2) Too broad. – Carpetsmoker Jan 21 '15 at 1:33
	@Carpetsmoker I ended up with this after concluding "how do I create a vim plugin?" being too broad, as you note. – laconbass Jan 21 '15 at 4:16
