I know that set list will show all linebreaks/carriage returns in vim.

But I would like them to show only when they are on a line that has text.

Is there a way to have set list work selectively?

The reason for this is simple: when I paste a bunch of text, while not in paste mode, I often get a garbled paragraph full of whitespace. I would like to be able to see that whitespace, but only if it is in a textual area.

  • can you switch on `list` and check the just pasted text with your eyes? Or paste to a new buffer. The feature you are asking doesn't exist – Kent Dec 15 '16 at 16:29
  • You can highlight whitespace by searching for it. Do take a look at this http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_unwanted_spaces – sudo bangbang Dec 16 '16 at 04:27
