I hate asking a question like this, but am still rather new to vim
and the Spacevim
variant that I am using.
I am working in python and was trying to understand the different symbols that vim-syntastic
is presenting the the leftmost column. I have included a picture below.
There are symbols like _3
, !
, !1
, and I can't seem to find a guide to these symbols. The warning and error signs are intuitive enough, but not these different colored indicators.
I tried to do :help syntastic
but that did not show anything. I got an indication E149: no help for syntastic
. I also googled around but could not find a description for these symbols in the github repo for syntastic, or in the spacevim
documentation. I also found the syntastic help documentation on the github repo, but the error signs section does not explain any default settings, etc. Here is the link to that. https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic/blob/master/doc/syntastic.txt
I also included a picture from the documentation, but it does not show the actual default symbol meanings. I tried to use help on the various keywords in the help message, but those did not work for me either.
Does anyone know where to find this info.
short answer: !
for error, _
for number of deleted lines
signs are from vim-signify and/or syntastic.
SpaceVim override syntastic config g:syntastic_warning_symbol
/g:syntastic_error_symbol
with g:spacevim_error_symbol
/g:spacevim_warning_symbol
your local config might have overridden those configs too.
