I've just begun learning Go, and upon running go fmt, I am finding tab ^I characters appear in my code:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
^Ifmt.Println("Hello world!")
}
Is there a way I can configure Vim to not display these characters, while still preserving the tabs in the file itself?
Following Amadan's suggestion, I edited the file that :verbose set list? returned, which for me is ~/.vim/init/options.vim. Removing set list solved the problem for me
Just remove this line in your configuration file: :set listchars=tab:\(whatever chracter)\
set list may be useful later for character editing. I wouldn't recommend just deleting it without knowing what you are doing.
