I use the F<n> keys to turn these things on and off. Here is a simple example in my ~/.vimrc: nnoremap \tnum :set invnumber number?<CR> nmap <F5> \tnum nnoremap \tl :set invlist list?<CR> nmap <F2> \tl For me, F2 turns the list on and off and shows the EOL and makes that trailing whitespace fairly obvious. Of course it only matters in the <screen> sections. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
