|
## Features:
|
|
* Can detect both tab and space indent styles.
|
|
* Automatically inspects your colorscheme and picks appropriate colors (gVim only).
|
|
* Will highlight indent levels with alternating colors.
|
|
* Full support for gVim and basic support for Terminal Vim.
|
|
* Seems to work on Windows gVim 7.3 (haven't done any extensive tests though).
|
|
* Customizable size for indent guides, eg. skinny guides (soft-tabs only).
|
|
* Customizable start indent level.
|
|
* Highlight support for files with a mixture of tab and space indent styles.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
* Vim 7.2+
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
To install the plugin copy `autoload`, `plugin`, `doc` directories into your `.vim` directory.
|
|
|
|
### Pathogen
|
|
If you have [Pathogen](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332) installed, clone this repo into a subdirectory of your `.vim/bundle` directory like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/.vim/bundle
|
|
git clone git://github.com/preservim/vim-indent-guides.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Vundle
|
|
If you have [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim) installed, add the following line to your `~/.vimrc` in the appropriate spot (see the Vundle.vim README for help):
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plugin 'nathanaelkane/vim-indent-guides'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and then run the following command from inside Vim:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
:PluginInstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
The default mapping to toggle the plugin is `<Leader>ig`.
|
|
|
|
You can also use the following commands inside Vim:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
:IndentGuidesEnable
|
|
:IndentGuidesDisable
|
|
:IndentGuidesToggle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you would like to have indent guides enabled by default, you can add the following to your `~/.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:indent_guides_enable_on_vim_startup = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### gVim
|
|
**This plugin should work with gVim out of the box, no configuration needed.** It will automatically inspect your colorscheme and pick appropriate colors.
|
|
|
|
### Setting custom indent colors
|
|
Here's an example of how to define custom colors instead of using the ones the plugin automatically generates for you. Add this to your `.vimrc` file:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:indent_guides_auto_colors = 0
|
|
autocmd VimEnter,Colorscheme * :hi IndentGuidesOdd guibg=red ctermbg=3
|
|
autocmd VimEnter,Colorscheme * :hi IndentGuidesEven guibg=green ctermbg=4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can add the following lines to your colorscheme file.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
hi IndentGuidesOdd guibg=red ctermbg=3
|
|
hi IndentGuidesEven guibg=green ctermbg=4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Terminal Vim
|
|
At the moment Terminal Vim only has basic support. This means is that colors won't be automatically calculated based on your colorscheme. Instead, some preset colors are used depending on whether `background` is set to `dark` or `light`.
|
|
|
|
When `set background=dark` is used, the following highlight colors will be defined:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
hi IndentGuidesOdd ctermbg=black
|
|
hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=darkgrey
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, when `set background=light` is used, the following highlight colors will be defined:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
hi IndentGuidesOdd ctermbg=white
|
|
hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=lightgrey
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If for some reason it's incorrectly defining light highlight colors instead of dark ones or vice versa, the first thing you should check is that the `background` value is being set correctly for your colorscheme. Sometimes it's best to manually set the `background` value in your `.vimrc`, for example:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
colorscheme desert256
|
|
set background=dark
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can manually setup the highlight colors yourself, see `:help indent_guides_auto_colors` for an example.
