Actually: let me ask a much simpler question:
Do the ex/vi/vim modelines as typically used in Wireshark even work ?
Good question, for me they don't work.
I saw commit and was testing it with :set ts=8,
Anyway if wireshark modelines don't affect my editor settings I'm ok with it :)
Sorry for fuss.
What do the following say?
verbose set modeline?
verbose set modelines?
It's possible that modelines are either disabled by default or don't
reach the modeline statement.
I checked that:
On the Ubuntu system, I had to add a 'set modeline' to .vimrc but even
then the vim modeline in a test file worked only after changing the
line as described previously.
