Is it possible to get Vim to display vertical lines that help to track
indentation? I can't think of the best way to describe it (or search for
it), but you can see it in this screenshot
(http://www.rutherfurd.net/files/jedit/jedit_ss3.jpg).

In addition to what was said about 'list' and 'listchars', to track indentation you could also use the 'cursorcolumn' option, see

        :help 'cursorcolumn'
        :help 'cursorline'
        :help hl-CursorColumn
        :help hl-CursorLine

Personally I use

        set cuc cul

in my vimrc, and

        hi CursorColumn term=underline cterm=underline guibg=#F4F4F4
        hi! link CursorLine CursorColumn

in my homemade colorscheme (a very light grey in the GUI so as to be visible but not too distracting on a white field).


Best regards,
Tony.
