Vim: vertical lines indicating how much a line of code has been indented?

Is t开发者_StackOverflowhere a way to get Vim to show vertical lines that make it visually easier to see how many tab stops (or spaces) a line of code has been indented?

I think this plugin does what you want.

as a start, try this:

set list listchars=tab:»·,trail:·,extends:#

see :help 'listchars'

You can also place a vertical line at any desired column using (80 in this case):

highlight OverLength ctermbg=red ctermfg=white guibg=#592929
match OverLength /\%81v.\+/

As of vim 7.3, you can use set colorcolumn=80 (set cc=80 for short).
