Vim auto indent private keyword

Question

I'm learning Vim (I'm using gVim)
I need to do the following: Suppose I typed this:

class MyClass {
    private
}

After typing the : after private, result should be:

class MyClass {
private:
}

How can I do automate that behaviour?
I tried with

:imap private: <Home><Delete>

But I feel it's not an elegant solution at all. I already installed c.vim by Fritz Mehner.

Answer 1

set cindent
set cinoptions=g-1
