在VIM下使用gg=G格式化shell代码时，如果代码中有heredoc，经过格式化后会造成代码运行失败。如下：

do
    echo "Deploying..."
    ssh $USER@$HOST <<-EOF
cd testdir
mv client client-bak-`date +%Y%m%d`
tar zxf `basename $TARGET_DEPLOY_ZIP` -C .
exit
EOF
    echo ""

格式化后会成这样：

do
    echo "Deploying..."
    ssh $USER@$HOST <<-EOF
     cd testdir
     mv client client-bak-`date +%Y%m%d`
     tar zxf `basename $TARGET_DEPLOY_ZIP` -C .
     exit
    EOF
    echo ""
done

vim对heredoc的代码进行了缩进（四个空格），这样会导致执行出错。

解决：修改vim格式化shell脚本的规则，格式化时忽略heredoc。
将这个脚本保存到.vim/indent/sh.vim(摘录至此):

" Vim indent file

if exists("b:did_indent")
  finish
endif
let b:did_indent = 1

setlocal indentexpr=GetShIndent()
setlocal indentkeys+==then,=do,=else,=elif,=esac,=fi,=fin,=fil,=done,=EOF,=END
setlocal indentkeys-=:,0#

if exists("*GetShIndent")
  finish
endif

let s:cpo_save = &cpo
set cpo&vim

function GetShIndent()
  let lnum = prevnonblank(v:lnum - 1)
  if lnum == 0
    return 0
  endif

  " Add a 'shiftwidth' after if, while, else, case, until, for, function()
  " Skip if the line also contains the closure for the above
  let ind = indent(lnum)
  let line = getline(lnum)
  if line =~ '^\s*\(if\|then\|do\|else\|elif\|case\|while\|until\|for\)\>'
        \ || line =~ '^\s*\<\k\+\>\s*()\s*{'
        \ || line =~ '^\s*{'
    if line !~ '\(esac\|fi\|done\)\>\s*$' && line !~ '}\s*$'
      let ind = ind + &sw
    endif
  endif

  if line =~ '^.*<<.*\(EOF\|END\)'
    let ind = 0
  endif
  if line =~ '^"\?\(EOF\|END\)"\?$'
    let ind = indent(search('>.*EOF', 'b'))
  endif
  " Subtract a 'shiftwidth' on a then, do, else, esac, fi, done
  " Retain the indentation level if line matches fin (for find)
  let line = getline(v:lnum)
  if (line =~ '^\s*\(then\|do\|else\|elif\|esac\|fi\|done\)\>' || line =~ '^\s*}')
        \ && line !~ '^\s*fi[ln]\>'
    let ind = ind - &sw
  endif

  return ind
endfunction

let &cpo = s:cpo_save
unlet s:cpo_save 

不过delimiter只能是EOF或者END。
