Can anyone suggest the best way to be able to highlight tabs (versus

:exe "set listchars=tab:\xbb\xb7,trail:\xb7"

Beware: it seems that "\x" means a byte, not a character, when 'encoding' is UTF-8 (see the recent thread about "\xe4" not being equal to itself). Use alpha values (your commented-out command) or else use e.g. <Char-0xB7> (preceded by \ if in a double-quoted string but not if in a mapping) which means the same character in Latin1 and UTF-8 (codepoint U+00B7, represented in Latin1 as 0xB7, in UTF-8 as 0xC2 0xB7).


Best regards,
Tony.
