showing single space invisible character in vim

问题

I have added set listchars=tab:»\,trail:·,extends:#,nbsp:. for showing invisible characters.

It is working for tab extends but not working for nbsp, I have read the help for :set listchars and tried with examples given there, but still I am not getting dot character for single space character.

what else I have to do for this. Any suggestion.

Thanks

Please be careful with the backslashes.

set listchars=tab:>\\,trail:·,extends:#,nbsp:.

This works as expected. However, one should note that nbsp stands for non-breakable space (character 0xA0). It's different from ordinary whitespaces (character 0x20) and in most cases, we'll have to do Ctrl-v x a 0 in insert mode to type it.

More recent versions of vim can show regular spaces as well. (Confirmed on vim 7.4.1689).

:set list
:set listchars=tab:→\ ,space:·,nbsp:␣,trail:•,eol:¶,precedes:«,extends:»
