Hi.

Not exactly all or none, but one needs to do a little research. In looking through: Vim documentation: syntax
navigating to the description of the Fortran syntax file and (vim) commands, it is noted that TABs are considered by vim syntax to be an error, and hence are in red.

You can eliminate that feature by entering
Code:
:let fortran_have_tabs=1

before entering
Code:
:syntax on

I tried that and it worked for me, in the environment noted in a previous post.

If that tests correctly for you, you can probably automate that to some extent by modifying your .vimrc (note the leading dot) file. I did not try that.

Have fun experimenting, researching, and programming ... cheers, drl

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs - Use spaces instead of tabs. AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
Putting hard tabs in your source code (or POD) is one of the worst things you can do to your co-workers and colleagues, especially if those tabs are anywhere other than a leading position. Because various applications and devices represent tabs differently, they can cause you code to look vastly different to other people. Any decent editor can be configured to expand tabs into spaces. Perl::Tidy also does this for you. This Policy catches all tabs in your source code, including POD, quotes, and HEREDOCs. The contents of the "__DATA__" section are not examined. CONFIGURATION
Hard tabs in a string are always forbidden (use " " instead). But hard tabs in a leading position are allowed when they are used to indent code statements, "qw()" word lists, and regular expressions with the "/x" modifier. However, if you want to forbid all tabs everywhere, then add this to your .perlcriticrc file: [CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs] allow_leading_tabs = 0 NOTES
Beware that Perl::Critic may report the location of the string that contains the tab, not the actual location of the tab, so you may need to do some hunting. I'll try and fix this in the future. AUTHOR
