Highlighting Two Trailing Blanks #57

Closed StaticNoiseLog closed 6 years ago

StaticNoiseLog commented 7 years ago

It would be nice if there was a way to highlight two trailing blanks on a line. This is the way to enforce a new line within the same paragraph (break line). Tim Pope's markdown.vim does it correctly and I find this very useful.

I get this by using ntpeters/vim-better-whitespace.

Well I take it back. It works in file types other than markdown. If I get it fixed I'll report back. I'm finding this plugin to be pretty opinionated about the settings it overrides...

Thanks for looking into it!

Got it. My criticism of opinionated setting overrides was misplaced on this one. The ntpeters/vim-better-whitespace plugin has markdown blacklisted by default.

I now have trailing spaces with that plugin installed and the following in my .vimrc (this is the default minus markdown):

let g:better_whitespace_filetypes_blacklist=['diff', 'gitcommit', 'unite', 'qf', 'help']

Awesome!
