Can you explain the benefits of that, and what is involved in doing it? Why are filetype plugins better than autocmd? When should autocmd be used? Not used? The filetype plugins that come with Vim will do helpful things like "setlocal noexpandtab" for makefiles, for example.

Take NodeJS as an example of the former. Tabs should be two spaces. Headache, and quite silly, but important. Why should tabs have to be the same for all circumstances?
For a configuration file, 8 space tabs work fine, but for code with a lot of indents, 2 is much easier to manage. And then there are fixed conventions: node.
The tab character has a long established tradition of meaning a jump to the next position at a multiple of 8 chars. It is only because people wanted to use tab for "the next indent that looks good in my language" and because some text editors didn't bother making the difference between "adding a tab character" and "adding spaces for indenting", and people tweaked their editor to have it their way, that we now have this mess where tabs never display the intended way.
Source code is text and the standard for text is 8-character tabs. For example: :set et :retab and the tabs in the file are replaced by enough spaces. To have tabs back simply do: :set noet :retab. Neysor 3, 11 11 gold badges 32 32 silver badges 65 65 bronze badges.

I will show you how to install and use the vim-plug plugin manager. The plugins we install will be added between the two function calls. In the mapping section we will add shortcuts to making typing longer commands easier. This will save you key strokes and lots of time, especially for long commands. A common mapping example is to map 'jj' to the escape key.
You will be pressing the escape key a lot. The escape key is in the far corner of the keyboard. The letter 'j' is in the middle of the keyboard so it is easier to press 'jj' instead of reaching for the escape key. The leader key, in conjunction with another key, will allow you to create new shortcuts. The backslash key is the default leader key but some people change it to a comma ",". Here are some common mappings that people use. See the comments above each line for the explanation.
