thaerkh / vim-indentguides Goto Github PK

I would like to know how to change the indent characters. I want to use other symbols instead of | and $.

Please add to README.md info about option:
let g:indentguides_toggleListMode = 0
It will give a simple way to unset list mode ('$' char at the end of every lines).
Because it shows by default.
Thanks in advance!

It is looking weird, is there any way to put them off, is that a feature?

So for some reason, the color of | is green. This is a color from my color scheme but I am not sure that is overriding the grey color that is supposed to be shown. I checked the source code and it looks like Conceal and SpecialKey are being set. For my theme file Conceal and SpecialKey are being set as colors that aren't green. This is only happening for the tab character, the space indent character is working fine. Any ideas here? Thank you!

This is the same issue as #9, but that issue has been closed.

let g:indentguides_guidewidth = get(g:, 'indentguides_guidewidth', &l:shiftwidth) is loaded well before vim-editorconfig changes shiftwidth, but that change is never reflected to g:indentguides_guidewidth.

I'll send a pull request with a fix shortly.

I've tried the let g:indentguides_ignorelist = ['text', 'markdown', 'json'] command in .vimrc but even after checking conceallevel is set to 0, characters are missing (i.e. underscores, square brackets, parenthesis) and all the content inside them. If I set conceallevel from that specific buffer, text is correctly shown.

Note: filetype was set to markdown. The same happens if I open an md file.

When I invoke :IndentGuidesToggle to hide the guides, the double quotes remain hidden (hiding the quotes is a separate issue).
I expect the command to reset the the conceallevel=0 to show the hidden double quotes
Instead, I have to manually set the conceallevel=0

I'm using this with neovim in iTerm2 and with set cursorline, there's a gap in the highlighted line around the indent markers.

See L64. I'm guessing this is just an artifact of the indent markers (probably) being drawn at the same layer as the cursorline and it's not fixable but just thought I'd ask in case I'm missing something obvious

I recently started using this plugin (and love it), but I noticed that for some reason when I have this plugin enabled it breaks the syntax highlighting in yaml files.

indentguides enabled:

indentguides disabled:

I thought this might be a neovim-specific issue, but I also see it on vim 8.0.1365.

It matches all spaces in line, not only in the start.
So, all spaces become: _

I think this line should be added:
execute "highlight NonText " . g:indentguides_specialkey_color
As sometimes, trail characters are in NonText and not SpecialKey

I find the indent guides a bit cluttered for normal usage, but there are times I really want to see them.

So it would be very helpful to have a config variable which leaves the guides off by default, then I can toggle them on as needed.

Hi! Thanks for the script!

I was wanting to put 2 columns space, so I worked around putting:
let g:indentguides_guidewidth = 2
after line 34: let g:indentguides_guidewidth = &l:shiftwidth

So, I wanted it to start from the first column, then I commented the lines:
24: if g:indentguides_firstlevel
and 26: endif

I don't know vim enough to correct it the right way, It would be nice if someone helped making this option.

I would like trailing spaces to always be ·, but sometimes they show as -. I'm not able to figure out what causes it to show it differently, but the same file at different times shows differently. Here are some screenshots:

This is my config:

let g:indentguides_spacechar = '┆'
let g:indentguides_tabchar = '|'
let g:indentguides_ignorelist = ['text','vim','md']

but when I open some of ignored files, all tabs are replaced with ^I.

The plugin sets concealcursor to inc to make the indents also visible in the insertmode. This however can make other plugins like vimwiki unusable or at least change their behavior.
It's currently not possible to change this since vim-indentguides overwrites values defined in vimrc or other plugins.

Please provide a way to disable this by the user (vimrc) and other plugins.

I'm using sleuth.vim to automatically set the width of my tabs depending on which file I open. vim-indentguides does not update g:indentguides_guidewidth accordingly, causing the indent guides to be incorrectly placed.

It's a great plugin but I faced two issues:

1. list mode is always activated and
2. g:listchars got always changed even though 'tab:' and 'trail:' was already set within my vimrc
   I slightly adapted the plugin to solve both issues. If I shall/can contribute my changes via github please let me know how to do so.

If you open a file multiple times at once like this:
vim -p file file file file
vim -o file file file file
vim -O file file file file
ToggleIndentGuides() will only run for the first instance of the file opening.
