Hated Vim because when I was a cs major we were forced to use it to learn c++ (self.vim)

Randomly got into selfhosting/webhosting and everytime I need to edit anything when using the terminal, I end up installing vim and using it to edit stuff, it feels so much more comfortable than any other way of editing. I like vim now, it's the first thing I install when I need to config something. I like that its a modal editor and I have to use insert so I dont accidentally change stuff, if I want to save I :wq, if I don't I just :q, don't have a million options show up, it just works.

Vim doesn't properly highlight yaml unless using hard tabs (self.vim)

Hello!

I'm having an issue in Vim where it will not do syntax highlighting unless using hard tabs. I prefer hard tabs, but they aren't valid yaml and I get yelled at when I try and import the file in python.

With proper spaces

With hard tabs

Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

Thanks!

EDIT: This is confusing. I've just discovered that if I run set ft? it shows filetype=yaml. If I then run set ft=yaml the syntax highlighting works correctly??? That doesn't make any sense.
