Thanks very much for your help
I've tried to fix it as if it was 2) or 3) but it hasn't worked
I'm writing a piece of fortran90 code (.f90 extension) If that helps
I just started a fresh file and it highlights the first character on each
line with red (change character to white) and makes all the white space
before it red aswell. It also highlights the 6th "space" of every line
orange.
What's happening?
I don't remember it doing this before
> Could someone please suggest why whenever I press the tab key

There are a couple possibilities:
1) you're editing a file whose syntax-highlighting definition
prescribes highlighting whitespace
2) you've got search-highlighting triggered (usually by (a)
having it enabled and (b) searching for a tab)
3) you've got a syntax-match specified.
To solve #2, you can
1) search for something different
2) temporarily disable search highlightin (":noh")
3) turn it off all-together (":set nohls")
To solve #3, you can
:match none
Solving #1 is a little trickier, as it depends on what your
current syntax/file-type is:
:set ft?
By knowing the filetype, one can track down how the mapping to a
color is getting created, and how to override that color.
If #2 and #3 don't solve the problem, the ":set ft?" results will
help track down what's going on.
