set vim indent like Notepad++ (attach: screenshot)

[stardiviner]

I want to set vim indent guide like notepad++. the screenshot is in attachment.
I think *set listchars* maybe work on this.

You can use either folds, listchars or both. This setting helps to
achieve something similar:

set list listchars=tab:\‣\

Play with different characters.

That will work only when indenting with tabs (but is good to know
where tabs are). For a more generic approach,
see:

Try my IndGuide plugin
(http://drchip.0sites.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#INDGUIDE).

You need to have a "huge" vim (ie. to have signs enabled).

The manual links to a 404.

I tried this plugin, but the indent lines are before linenumber.

I already has this plugin, but I do not know how to config it to make it similar with Notepad++'s
indent guide.

I don't know what exactly you want, but do you possibly want to set
'foldcolumn'?
e.g. something like this:
:set fdc=5 fdm=indent foldlevel=99 foldlevelstart=99

This can't be changed,without heavily patching Vim. May be you want to
continue using notepad++ after all?

Have you tried this plugin?

Ivan S. Freitas mentioned it earlier in the thread.

(sorry if this message is a duplicate, but it hasn't appeared for awhile)

Thank you for letting me know -- I modified my RltvNmbr plugin, and
hadn't made an IndGuide manual yet. There's one there now.

Also, there was a bug where :IG would make indentation signs, but the
second :IG wouldn't. Fixed.

Regards,
Chip Campbell

Hello,

Thank you -- I essentially converted my RltvNmbr plugin into IndGuide,
and hadn't come up with a manual yet. There's one there now.

Also, :IG would start up signs, but the second :IG wasn't removing
them. FIxed.

Regards,
Chip Campbell

There's nothing that can be done about that; line numbers and signs
screenspace is set up by vim, and I know of no way to shuffle them about.

True; the only thing that huge has that big doesn't AFAIK is profiling
support.

That looks pretty slick! However, it wastes a tremendous amount of screen
space.

Em, ok. wait for someday Vim has this feature (maybe not).
stay at Vim forever. I like it. That's why I ask it at here.
