When using o to open a new line, indentation is not respected

Here’s a video to demonstrate, but basically I use o to open a new line and insert some text. The problem is that it doesn’t automatically indent, as you can see in the video the line open, the caret is moving to the new line but it goes at the start of the line. I then have to press Tab to get the proper indentation and start typing, it’s not so much of extra typing but it doesn’t feel natural, plus it’s none of the behavior of neovim and vsc, so I wonder if it’s a bug.

If it’s not a bug and there is a way to fix that, sorry but I couldn’t find anywhere how to, please let me know.

Thanks

autoindent might be getting set to disabled somehow, as was happening in my case, though for only certain file types

In init.vim:

" ------- vscode-neovim specific settings ----- "
...

" ------- FIX: Keep autoindent enabled for all filetypes all the time ----- "
autocmd BufEnter * silent! set autoindent smartindent

" ------- Stop vscode-neovim from loading remainder of file ----- "
if exists('g:vscode') 
   finish
endif

" ------- Rest of init.vim ----- "
....

EDIT: Added smartindent.
