vim-trailing-whitespace's Introduction

This plugin causes trailing whitespace to be highlighted in red.

To fix the whitespace errors, call :FixWhitespace.  By default it
operates on the entire file.  Pass a range (or use V to select some lines)
to restrict the portion of the file that gets fixed.

vim-trailing-whitespace's Issues

Should not highligh empty context lines in diff mode

vim-trailing-whitespace mistakely highlight some lines in diff mode, i.e. when writing git commit -v messages and when opening patches.

In the diff output the first column is used as a gutter to show the status of the line: '+' for additions, '-' for removals and ' ' (a space) for context lines.

If the context line is an empty line it will be highlighted because it contains only a single white space.

Could this plugin detect that we are in diff mode (filetype=diff) and not highlight lines composed of exactly one single space?

FixWhitespace will mess up the indentation of my Coffeescript

Repro: Just call it on a regular Coffee file

trailing-whitespaces is highlighting spaces in leaderguide

Since pulling the latest version into vim, trailing-whitespaces highlights trailing white spaces in leaderguide, which is a bit ugly.

Is there a way I can stop this from happening?

restore position and hlsearch

the command should restore the original cursor position and search highlight

Latest commit causes an error message

The latest commit (9b472b1) causes the following error message:

Error detected while processing /home/lbloch/.vim/plugged/vim-trailing-whitespace/plugin/trailing-whitespace.vim:
line   19:
E216: No such group or event: TermOpen * if ShouldMatchWhitespace() | match ExtraWhitespace /\\\@<![\u3000[:space:]]\+$/ | else | match ExtraWhitespace /^^/ | endif

Ignore doc/tags

The file doc/tags should be in .gitignore so this repo can be used as a git submodule with Pathogen.

Error because of the event name `TerminalOpen` on NeoVim (v0.8.3)

Hi,

I've been using this plugin quite a long time, but recently I ran into a weird problem complaining like:

I think this error must be related to a recent PR (#27), and I suspect that the event name is called differently between Vim and NeoVim.

Is it possible to designate different event names along the different descendants of Vi?

Thank You!

Should we highlight spaces that are preceeded by a backslash?

Right now, vim-trailing-whitespace is complaining about the trailing space in the following line in my .vimrc:

set showbreak=↪\ \ \

However, the final space, after the third backslash, is part of the value that I am assigning to showbreak. Perhaps the whitespace-detection regexes should allow whitespace if it is preceded by a backslash?

/\s\+$/        " Current regex
/\\\@<!\s\+$/  " Proposed regex

Trailing whitespace and neovim terminal

Dear Bronson

I have been a long-term user of your plugin which highlights trailing whitespaces in text. I've recently noticed that this feature is also active in the internal terminal of Neovim, where it can be quite distracting. It would be beneficial if this functionality could be disabled by default in the terminal mode. I am willing to assist in making this adjustment if needed.

Cheers,
Stephan

Under what license is this project distributed? It would help distro integration to know.

Thank you.

also highlight space-tab mixed use

sometimes, there is tab and space mixed use in a line,
could you also add this into highlight ?
