set listchars=tab:>-,trail:_
I tried to unset the above command this way:
unset listchars=tab:>-,trail:_
But only get:
E492: Not an editor command: unset listchars=tab:>-,trail:_
What's the right way to do this?

This will reset the listchars option to the default:
set listchars&
See the options documentation for more info.

There are 3 primary ways to unset a variable. I will use the binary command here for demonstration purposes. One of them should work.
set nobinaryset binary&set binary!Remember to reload the file you are working on for the values to apply again using :e

unsetcommand. For toggleable options, you can doset nooption(example:set pasteandset nopaste), but listchars is not toggleable. If you actually want to set listchars to have no value, do:set listchars=– Chris Acheson – 2011-07-18T16:35:57.957so
