I have some patterns in my vimrc to match weird characters in files such as tabs, curly quotes, em-dashes, etc.
" Highlight various difficult-to-see problems
:match Error / \t/
:match Error /–/
...
How can I add ASCII non-breaking space \xA0
to this list?
I encountered one of these nbsps in a file when I was doing some diffs, I'm not sure how it got in there, but I had to use a hex editor to see what was going on.
Similarly, in the image, you can see that this turns up as what is, and isn't a space.
Thanks for the tip on the help command too. Sometimes I forget it's there, but it's certainly well worth reading. – mgjk – 2017-09-04T09:32:49.903
1I would say it's the most important thing to learn. – romainl – 2017-09-04T11:07:13.250
