When working with .haml files, Vim keeps working with soft-tabs
For some reason Vim continues to use soft-tabs (tabs as spaces) every time I work on Haml files. I prefer regular tabs and I have this in my vimrc:
set autoindent
set noexpandtab
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
Which seems to work great for all file types except Haml. When editing Haml files, Vim uses two spaces and not a tab, any suggestions on how this can be reverted back to my default settings (i.e. regular tabs)?

This is because the indent script for haml sets the expandtab for you automatically when VIM detects that the current file is in haml format. The script is in $VIMRUNTIME/indent/haml.vim
. It contains:
setlocal autoindent sw=2 et
To turn this off, you can put this line in ~/.vimrc
yours to clear the expandtab parameter again:
au! FileType haml set noet
