wheelist.nvim

Define and cylce through multiple 'listchars' presets, inspired by cyclist.vim

For more on 'listchars' see :help listchars.

Configuration

lua <<EOF
-- Add minimal listchars (true as the final parameter means use defaults for other values)
require'wheelist'.add_listchars('minimal', { tab = '» ' }, true)

-- Add unicode heavy listchars
require'wheelist'.add_listchars('heavy', {
    eol = '↲',
    tab = '»·',
    space = '␣',
    trail = '☠',
    extends = '☛',
    precedes = '☚',
    nbsp = '∩',
})

-- Activate preset
require'wheelist'.activate_listchars'minimal'
EOF

" Add mappings for cycling listchars
nmap <Leader>cp <Plug>WheelistPrev
nmap <Leader>cn <Plug>WheelistNext

Cycling

To cycle through presets use :lua require'wheelist'.next_listchars() and :lua require'wheelist'.prev_listchars(). You can also add mappings to <Plug>WheelistNext and <Plug>WheelistPrev.

Dynamically change preset

To modify presets at runtime use :lua require'wheelist'.set_eol('preset', '$'), where eol can be replaced by any other listchar. Omitting the second argument will remove the listchar.
