I know this thread is from 2009 and I hope I'm not stomping on some kind of list etiquette by bringing it back to life, but I'm wondering what happened to this patch to enable a "space" option for listchars? As far as I can tell it never made it in to the official code, as it doesn't function in my version of gvim 7.3. I'd really like to have the option, so I'm curious if the patch was never integrated as a design decision or if there was something wrong with the code or documentation patch I could help improve? -- jmp -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/Patch-support-for-the-space-argument-for-listchars-tp1210494p4873477.html Sent from the Vim - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
