Displays "^I" just fine, but trashes actual indentation, at least for me
(dunno if there's any magical 'vim' setting, like ":set keepindent" or
something). Iow, I wanna be able to see
indented text...
and just see whether it's indented with spaces or tabs, not
^I^I^Iindented text...$
with everything squooshed to the left of the screen.
Now, maybe if there were a "show" character in list-mode, so it'd look
like
> > >indented text
that'd work for me, too.
Worse comes to worse, I just do "/^I" and have all tabs highlighted in
fiery-red, but I can't deal with too much of that, as it sunburns my
retinas fairly quickly.
