indentLine ========== This plugin is used for displaying thin vertical lines at each indentation level for code indented with spaces. For code indented with tabs I think there is no need to support it, because you can use `:set list lcs=tab:\|\ ` (here is a space). ## Requirements This plugin takes advantage of the newly provided `conceal` feature in Vim 7.3, so this plugin will not work with lower versions of Vim. ## Installation To install the plugin just put the plugin files in your `~/.vim` (Linux) or `~/vimfiles` (Windows). If you use a plugin manager you can put the whole directory into your `~/.vim/bundle/` directory ([Pathogen][pathogen]) or add the line `Bundle 'Yggdroot/indentLine'` to your `.vimrc` ([Vundle][vundle]). ## Customization You can change the color of indentLines: for Vim, set `g:indentLine_color_term` in your `.vimrc`, e.g. `let g:indentLine_color_term = 239`, for GVim, set `g:indentLine_color_gui` in your `.vimrc`, e.g. `let g:indentLine_color_gui = '#A4E57E'` for none X terminal, set `g:indentLine_color_tty_light` and `g:indentLine_color_tty_dark` in your `.vimrc`. e.g. `let g:indentLine_color_tty_light = 7`(default: 4), `let g:indentLine_color_dark = 1`(default: 2). You can also change the indentLine char: for both Vim and GVim, set `let g:indentLine_char = 'c'` where `'c'` can be any ASCII character. You can also use one of `¦`, `┆` or `│` to display more beautiful lines. However, these characters will only work with files whose encoding is UTF-8. ## Self promotion If you think this script is helpful, follow the [GitHub repository][repository], and don't forget to vote for it on Vim.org!
