This tip contains information about adjusting the indent of source code in a block formed by braces ({...}
), such as is used in the C language.
For related information, see:

Commands to indent blocks
Suppose the indent options are correctly defined and we find this badly indented code:
int myfunction(int a) { if ( a == 1 ) { printf("one"); return 1; // the cursor is in this line } return 0; }
These commands will fix the indents:
=i{
reindents "inner block" (inside the braces).=a{
reindents "a block" (including the braces).=2a{
reindents 2 blocks (this block and containing block).
Instead of "{", you can use "}" or "B", for example, =aB
indents a block.
These commands will decrease or increase indents:
>i{
increase indent for inner block..
repeat last change (increase indent of block again).<i{
decrease indent for inner block.
With the cursor on {
or }
:
=%
indents the block (including matching brace).>%
or<%
indents or unindents the block.
