I tried to figure out what was the most common using modelines. Note
that there are 2401 vim files, and the numbers in the other command
outputs below add up to significantly less than that, so it's possible
that my estimate of what's most common is way off.
```
$ find . -name \*.vim | wc -l
2401
```
It looks like 2 is the most common value by far for shiftwidth and
softtabstop, so I used that for indent_size.
```
$ git grep -hE '(^|\s)((vi|vim|ex):|(vi|[vV]im|ex):\s*set? .*:)' -- '*.vim' |
> grep -Eo '\<(sw|shiftwidth)=[0-9]+' | cut -d = -f 2 |
> sort | uniq -c | sort -n
2 0
14 3
18 8
75 4
610 2
$ git grep -hE '(^|\s)((vi|vim|ex):|(vi|[vV]im|ex):\s*set? .*:)' -- '*.vim' |
> grep -Eo '\<(sts|softtabstop)=[^ :]+' | cut -d = -f 2 |
> sort | uniq -c | sort -n
2 -1
7 8
9 0
9 3
43 4
469 2
```
Similarly, 8 is by far the most common tabstop, so I didn't adjust that.
```
$ git grep -hE '(^|\s)((vi|vim|ex):|(vi|[vV]im|ex):\s*set? .*:)' -- '*.vim' |
> grep -Eo '\<(ts|tabstop)=[0-9]+' | cut -d = -f 2 |
> sort | uniq -c | sort -n
1 20
1 6
1 9
2 10
2 16
2 17
3 15
4 3
5 18
9 2
40 4
497 8
```
And expandtab is significantly more common than noexpandtab. Taking that
in combination with the common shiftwidth and softtabstop of 2 but
tabstop of 8, I set indent_style to space.
```
$ git grep -hE '(^|\s)((vi|vim|ex):|(vi|[vV]im|ex):\s*set? .*:)' -- '*.vim' |
> grep -Eo '\<(no)?(et|expandtab)\>' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
15 noexpandtab
86 noet
115 et
309 expandtab
```
I did try to look at a few of the less common values for those options
to see if there was any obvious pattern, like all *.vim files in one
directory having a different setting. The only real pattern I noticed
was in runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw, but that looks like it's imported
from a separate repository? So I think it might make more sense for them
to create their own .editorconfig file rather than putting settings for
that directory in this one.
