Running into a strange issue with my vimrc setting where I isolated to these 2 combination of lines if I use BufRead.
e.g.
au BufRead *.py
\ set softtabstop=4
\ set shiftwidth=4
Now if I open a file with .py, I get error:
Error detected while processing BufRead Auto commands for "*.py":
E518: Unknown option: set
This only happens under au BufRead and individually each setting works but not in combination?

If you want to use multiple set, separate with |:
au BufRead *.py
\ set softtabstop=4 |
\ set shiftwidth=4
Read more :help :bar.
please use one set with space separated options:
au BufRead *.py set softtabstop=4 shiftwidth=4
