Note that Vim does not make any difference between ­ at the end of a line as it ends up in (let's say) the output of an HTML display engine, and ­ in the middle of a line (where it will be hidden in the same output). Either you use the conceal feature to hide it everywhere, or it is occupies one character cell everywhere. This said, IMHO it might be useful to let the user display it as a recognizable character of his/her choice, like Vim already does for etc. In the meantime, putting the cursor on the character concerned and hitting ga will tell you that it is a soft-hyphen (0xAD in Latin1, U+00AD in UTF-8 etc.) and not something else. Or if you have (as I do) a custom 'statusline' including the %B field, just placing the cursor on it would be enough. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
