New issue 350 by [email protected]: Add "space" argument to 'listchars' to
show spaces in list mode
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=350
It is not possible to make ordinary space characters visible when 'list'
is set.
'listchars' allows customising the display of other whitespace
characters ("tab", "nbsp"), and ordinary spaces when they are trailing
("trail"). But non-trailing spaces cannot be shown in list mode.
I think adding this feature would be useful
* to make spaces visible when they are hidden after a tab character
(see the attached screenshot),
* to match user expectation (popular text editors can show spaces).
A patch with tests was maintained on the mailing list (see attachment).
Some discussion about this can be found on the mailing list.

This is a feature frequently requested by new members of the community.
