Does anybody know if it is possible to setup VIM to show space
symbols (at least) and indent guides (would be great) permanently?
I mean, that I want to clearly see space symbols all the time I am
editing a file.
in your .vimrc i think you go "set list" to enable, and "set
listchars" which has a few different arguments depending on what you
want displayed.
Indent guides are possible if you use tabs, through the "tab:xy"
component of &listchars.
Also see several recent threads on vim-use that talk about highlighting
certain columns. (Often that's the goal.)
Trailing spaces can be achieved via "trail:c" and non-breaking spaces
through "nbsp:c".
Intermediate spaces are not (yet) possible in Vim, although I have
been holding my breath for about 10 years. :)
Not possible via 'listchars'. The following highlights them as errors,
for example:
syn match Spaces ' '
hi link Spaces ErrorMsg
Needs autocmd love (will be overwritten by other syntax files/autocmds),
but it also depends on the goal whether that's a reasonable solution.
