Here's my favourite for your .vimrc execute 'set listchars+=tab:'.nr2char(187).nr2char(183) 187 is the "significantly greater than" symbol and 183 is a central dot. i.e. every character of a tab is non-space. The actual characters used aren't actually the point I wanted to make; the thing here is that two non-space characters are used, so every column occupied by the tab is visible - this makes it very easy to see where tabs end and spaces begin.
