I d like (g)Vim to draw a pipe symbol | on each 4th space of indentation to show something like vertical indentation line.
I found this plugin: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=628, but it works only with tab characters, and I m using spaces for indentation.
My .vimrc contains:
set ts=4
set sw=4
set expandtab
set softtabstop=4
Thanks for help
One could simply highlight every fourth space. Although it might look a bit hackish, is is simpler and quite effective. Please take a look at my answer to the question “Is it possible to display indentation guides in Vim?” where I lay out the technique in full detail.
You can try using my plugin: https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine.
It completely satisfies your requirements. It displays a thin vertical line, and not a fat vertical line like http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3361.
