Vim-empty-lines layer

• Description
  • Features:
• Install

Description

This layer is a drop-in replacement for the vi-tilde-fringe mode, for those who desire behaviour closer to =vim=’s.

It has better compatibility with retina displays, as it uses a text overlay using your font, rather than a pixel-art tilde. The empty line indicators are overlaid in within the buffer as in vim, and not in the fringe. The indicator behaviour with trailing empty lines matches =vim=’s behaviour.

For details, see the vim-empty-lines-mode repository.

Features:

• Emulation of original vim behaviour.
• Brings you as close to vim as one can be without using vim itself.

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add vim-empty-lines to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.
