A Vim plugin that visually displays indent levels in code using alternating highlight colors. It detects both tab and space indentation and can automatically pick colors matching your colorscheme in gVim.
Use cases
- show indent guides in vim
- visualize indentation levels while coding
- highlight nested code blocks in vim
- toggle indent guides with a keybinding
- make mixed tab and space indentation visible
When to choose
- you edit deeply nested code in Vim and want visual indent cues
- you use gVim and want automatic colorscheme-aware indent colors
- you need to spot mixed tab/space indentation issues
When to avoid
- you use Neovim and prefer built-in or Lua-native indent plugins
- you primarily work in Terminal Vim and need full colorscheme-based coloring
- you need an actively developed plugin with frequent updates
