To update (replacing the current version) run `webi vim-whitespace`.
|
|
|
|
### Files
|
|
|
|
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this
|
|
install:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.vim/plugins/whitespace.vim
|
|
~/.vimrc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Cheat Sheet
|
|
|
|
The idea that tabs should be 8 spaces wide is redonkulous.
|
|
|
|
This vim-whitespace plugin sets tabs to spaces (4 wide), trim trailing
|
|
whitespace, and makes whitespace handling consistent.
|
|
|
|
### How to configure manually
|
|
|
|
Create the file `~/.vim/plugins/whitespace.vim`. Add the same contents as
|
|
<https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/blob/master/vim-whitespace/whitespace.vim>.
|
|
|
|
That will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" handle tabs as 4 spaces, in every direction, consintently
|
|
set tabstop=4
|
|
set shiftwidth=4
|
|
set smarttab
|
|
set expandtab
|
|
set softtabstop=4
|
|
|
|
" remove trailing whitespace on save
|
|
autocmd BufWritePre * :%s/\s\+$//e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll then need to update `~/.vimrc` to source that plugin:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" Tabs & Whitespace: reasonable defaults from webinstall.dev/vim-whitespace
|
|
source ~/.vim/plugins/whitespace.vim
|
|
```
