linebreak does not work with list
:help linebreak documents that it is not used when...'list' is on but this means that toggling list shifts the text. I noticed this is on the ToDo: 7 Make 'list' and 'linebreak' work together. Is this a difficult fix? -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ]

Is it because with list on, representation of tabs can be different/incorrect from correct representation, and visual line length will be incorrect ? Yakov

Is it because with list on, representation of tabs can be different/incorrect from correct representation, and visual line length will be incorrect ? I'd say this should only be the case if list's tab representation differs (is only one char) from tabstop, but otherwise it shouldn't. That's right wrt visual line lengths. Going back to the fix linebreak when list is on: (a) would it be good enough to fix it for the case when list tab's representation is same as 'nolist' ? (i think this case is very easy to fix ), or (b) you want it fixed for both cases, also when list's tab representation differs (is only one char) from tabstop ? (the (b) case must be more difficult) ? So, did you mean (a) fix or (b) fix ? Yakov

However, I imagine there would be enough opinions on fixing (b) here to have to provide a new option. :) No no, I don't expect anybody interested in (b). Yakov

I noticed this is on the ToDo: 7 Make 'list' and 'linebreak' work together. Is this a difficult fix? With 'list', tabs can be represented as ^I (if 'listchars' does not include tab:) or as the right number of characters (if it does). With 'linebreak' and 'wrap', virtual spaces are added in the middle of long lines to make them wrap at a 'breakat' character. I suppose the second case has more import than the first, and would require an additional suboption in 'listchars' to optionally represent those virtual spaces as other than spaces. Best regards, Tony.

I don't think that indicating virtual space is important, these is a display device, not text in my file. -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ]
