Samuel, Karl pointed out in an offlist reply the obvious--that indentatio=

doesn't matter or help a totally blind person much.  (I'd argue it does i=

vim's cmode is pretty handy for that, but I wonder if it wouldn't be an
irritant anyway because you wouldn't know the imdemtation level it
automatically gave you that way.  Vim sometimes does dumb things with its
automatic indent if you put code in macros and the like.

I always turn off auto indent when working with only speech because I can
ask for the virtual cursor position if I need to, but I often don't
because I know how many times I just pressed the tab key after pressing
enter.
