 Unix Tip #4498- July  5, 2025
 
VI INDENTATION  
  
Indent your lines or remove  
the indentation in the vi  
editor.  
  
<< Shifts the current line to the left by one shift width.  
>> Shifts the current line to the right by one shift width.  
  
You can set the shift width  
by command  
  
:set sw  
  
For example, the command to  
set the shift width to 4  
characters is  
  
:set sw=4.
