This, however, will remove everything else (filename, line number, ...)
on the status line.
I would recommend setting your own custom status line (there is an
example under ":help 'statusline'" and adding something similar to the
above as part of it. Here is a somewhat fancier example:
if has("statusline")
set statusline=%<%f\
%h%m%r%{&et?((&shm?'[et]':',EXPANDTAB'):\"\")}%=%k\ %-12.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P
endif
This is one ong line between two short ones. Read the help for
'statusline' and have fun!
An alternate possibility would be to use the 'list' and 'listchars'
options to show you where there are spaces and where there are hard
tabs. Here's what I use:
set list listchars=eol:¶,tab:\|_
silent! set listchars+=nbsp:~
This shows the tabs as | and _ , the end-of-line as ¶ , no-break spaces
as tildes (all of that usually in blue).
Best regards,
Tony.
