Make Vim show ALL white spaces as a character

I can't find a way to make Vim show all white spaces as a character. All I found was about tabs, trailing spaces etc.

As others have said, you could use

:set list

which will, in combination with

:set listchars=...

display invisible characters.
Now, there isn't an explicit option which you can use to show whitespace, but in listchars, you could set a character to show for everything BUT whitespace. For example, mine looks like this

:set listchars=eol:$,tab:>-,trail:~,extends:>,precedes:<

so, now, after you use

:set list

everything that isn't explicitly shown as something else, is then, really, a plain old whitespace.

As usual, to understand how listchars works, use the help. It provides great information about what chars can be displayed (like trailing space, for instance) and how to do it:

:help listchars

It might be helpful to add a toggle to it so you can see the changes mid editing easily (source: VIM :set list! as a toggle in .vimrc):

noremap <F5> :set list!<CR>
inoremap <F5> <C-o>:set list!<CR>
cnoremap <F5> <C-c>:set list!<CR>

:set list to enable.

:set nolist to disable.

As of patch 7.4.710 you can now set a character to show in place of space using listchars!

:set listchars+=space:␣

So, to show ALL white space characters as a character you can do the following:

:set listchars=eol:¬,tab:>·,trail:~,extends:>,precedes:<,space:␣
:set list
