Indent Guides is a plugin for visually displaying indent levels in Vim. 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. - NEW: Highlight support for files with a mixture of tab and space indent styles. USAGE: The default mapping to toggle the plugin is `<Leader>ig` 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: >   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. >   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: >   hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=darkgrey   hi IndentGuidesOdd  ctermbg=black < Alternatively, when `set background=light` is used, the following highlight colors will be defined: >   hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=lightgrey   hi IndentGuidesOdd  ctermbg=white < 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: >   colorscheme desert256   set background=dark < Alternatively you can manually setup the highlight colors yourself, see `:help indent_guides_auto_colors` for an example.
