Is there any way the "tilde lines" that represent empty lines at the end of the buffer can be changed to something else or removed altogether?
AFAIK, you cannot remove/hide the tilde lines. You can change the highlighting used for the tilde lines using the NonText highlight group.
Is there any was the "statusline" can be displayed systematically? As far as I can tell it only materializes when I split the display.
You can set the 'laststatus' option to 2 to always display the status line: set laststatus=2
Is there any way I can have the contents of a buffer displayed a couple of columns to the right of the (sub)window's border? I currently specify "set foldcolumn=" but that doesn't appeear to be what it was meant for so I was wondering whether there might be a better way. Is there any way I can have vim display the hex contents of a buffer? I currently do a "ggVG :!od -t x1z -w32" followed by "u" to revert back to a regular view but maybe there is a more straightforward way to achieve the same result.
You can use the xxd tool shipped with Vim to convert a file to hex format and back. - Yegappan
