title: Vim: Indent with one space (not shiftwidth spaces)
body: <p>The default VIM indentation commands indent by shiftwidth spaces</p>
  
  <p>e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;   Indent line by shiftwidth spaces
  &lt;&lt;   De-indent line by shiftwidth spaces
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to indent with one or n (where n != shiftwidth) space(s)?</p>
  
  <p>One way to do that is to vertically select a column in the block with <code>Ctrl+V</code> then, <code>I</code> to insert vertically and then type a <code>space</code> and <code>&lt;Esc&gt;</code>. But is there a better way?</p>
