You may like Sven Guckes' experiments about syntax coloring involving visible tabs. He made up a syntax-file that even shows whether leading/trailing whitespace consists of tabs, spaces, or a mix of both. Details should be available somewhere at http://www.vim.org/ http://www.math-fu-berlin.de/~guckes/vim/ I think I'll convince him to extract the necessary parts for this kind of config files from his experimental file (which is far too colorful for any real use). > Wishing vi would support ^T like bash - Jy@ (jwyatt@rwsystems.net) What does ^T do in bash ? In my tcsh it justs swaps to adjacent chars.
