People,

I can't find a way to do _exactly_ what I want so here is the Q - I'm
guessing it might need a plugin:

- I want to display ASCII as normal

- I want to display the HEX codes for non-ASCII / Unicode chars
inline - maybe in square brackets, maybe  coloured

- I don't want to display TABs or LFs (like with the :list command)

I just want to see what sort of characters are causing my alignment
problems - BEFORE I delete them . .

Does this make sense?

By some experimentation, playing with the settings I could think of,
I found that the following settings seem to do what you want.

    :set encoding=latin1
    :set display+=uhex
    :set isprint=

That should display any non-ASCII characters as their hex values in
angle brackets, e.g., <a0>, and colored with the SpecialKey
highlighting.


Perfect! - thanks so much for that! - it was exactly what I wanted . . I have put it in my .vimrc now.

Regards,

Phil.
