I'm using vim 8.

In the attached picture you see yellow vertical lines that indicate the indentations of a code.

enter image description here

Is it possible to color depending on their indentation level? E.g.

all vertical indentation lines on indentation level 1 should be red

all vertical indentation lines on indentation level 2 should be yellow

all vertical indentation lines on indentation level 3 should be green

etc.

PS: If it is of any relevance: I'm using https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine That plugin doesn't have an option to color the vertical indentation lines dependent on the indentation level

  • but you could use different line styles for different levels with let g:indentLine_char_list = ['|', '¦', '┆', '┊'] if this helps.

  • You may also like the vim-indent-guides plugin. It does not color the lines, but visualizes indentation levels based on alternating colors of white spaces.

  • Hi @Kalindu, it would be more helpful if you provide the answer or specific context your answer. Often times, README files can be detailed and cover many topics.

  • This only works for Neovim, not Vim.
