FYI: I'm using Vim. My important settings (in ~/.vimrc) are:

```
set nojoinspaces
set textwidth=0
set backspace=2
```

However, ftplugin override these for each file type, so you have to essentially
"fork" the relevant ftplugin file for each type if you want for your settings
to take precedence. For example, in case of reST, copy
/usr/share/vim/vim91/ftplugin/rst.vim to ~/.vim/ftplugin/rst and override the
already defined options there:

```
...
" keep tabs as-is
setlocal comments=fb:.. commentstring=..\ %s noexpandtab
...
if exists("g:rst_style") && g:rst_style != 0
    setlocal noexpandtab shiftwidth=8 softtabstop=0 tabstop=8
endif
...
```

Thanks.
