I changed the trail symbol for better visibility below. This:
set listchars=eol:⏎,tab:>·,trail:▪,space:␣,extends:>,precedes:<,nbsp:+ set ai ci command -nargs=0 ArgIndent { y | put s!\v^\s*\zs(\S+\s+).*!\=repeat(' ', 1 + len(submatch(1)))! } inoremap \<cr> <c-o>:ArgIndent<cr> gives me: #!/bin/bash⏎ ⏎ this␣--example▪⏎ ␣␣␣␣␣--example▪▪⏎ ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣--example▪▪⏎ ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣--example▪▪⏎ ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪⏎ As you see, pressing Enter makes the backslash disappear. Also, as soon as Enter is pressed, all 'this' and '--example' strings appear on a different background (light gray in my case with 'colorscheme desert' which I use). Please advise how to fix it.
