vim new line with same indentation

Question

Then I press [Enter] in insert mode, there is a new line. But cursor places in the very beginning of a line. What do I do to create new line with the same indentation as the current's?

Answer 1

add set autoindent to your ~/.vimrc can do that for you automagically.

Answer 2

Both will annoy you when pasting (as vim will try and indent everything on the fly). So prior to pasting:

:set paste

Answer 3

I'd also suggest adding this to your .vimrc:

set smartindent

It will increase the indent in a new block.
