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