Show indentation level

[Pablo Giménez]

Hi
I am trying to make more clear my indent levels when programming python.
In many editors you can set to visualize indentation level in your
text, at every level a character, usually a point is shown, so you
onlu need to count the number of preceding points to know your indent
level.
I am already using cream-showinvisibles plugin:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=363
But this one don't show indentation levels visually.

Any ideas???
cheers

You should be able to display on the statusline the virtual column of
the first nonblank character on the current line. (This would, of
course, require a custom statusline.) The tricky part would be how to do
it without unduly disturbing editing.

See :help 'statusline'

Best regards,
Tony.

Thanks Tony.
I have the status line already working, but I was looking for
something more visual.
you know in many editors every level of indentation is show as points
in you text, so it is easy to see how many levels you lines have.

I am not sure I understand correctly. I think you could use the signs
feature to display the numerical indent level by calculating the
indentlevel by using indent()/&sts for each line.

<a little bit later…>

Here is a sample plugin. This is a very rough version, that was ripped
off of one of my plugins (changesPlugin:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3052)

What I wanto to do is something like this:
def myFoolDef()
. fool = "myFoolTest"
. for letter in fool:
. . print letter + "\n"
. print "I got an amazing fool sentence in a columns"

As you can see every level of indentatin is shown by a dot.
And sometimes when coding with languages like Python this is really useful.

Not sure about Python, as its indentation it's done with spaces, but for tab indents you can use listchars (:h listchars).

For example 'set listchars=tab:·\ ' would show a dot followed by three spaces at every indent, like in your example above.

Sorry to interrupt here, but I have a minor problem. In
Google groups when I subscribed this morning I selected "No
emails, I will read this group on the web", but it doesn't
seem to have any effect. Is there something critical I am
missing? Thanks in advance

I don't know how it happened, but your account was set to
"Email - send each message as it arrives". As you may not have a
Google account (which would allow you to easily change it
yourself via the web interface), I have interpreted the above as
a request, and have configured your account to:
"No Email - read this group on the web".

This post is great, thanks!
I am using expandtabs so I think the hilight solution is better
because the listchars option seems to don't be able to detect spaces,
just tabs.
