Vim /

Identify current character

#############################

Problem

You have some special, non-visible characters (like non-breakable spaces) that you want to remove.

Solution

First, identify the character under the cursor. You can do it by pressing ga. In the status bar vim will tell you the ASCII code of the given character in decimal, hexa, and octal forms.

Then, using the octal value, you can change and replace these characters:

:%s/\%oOCT/NEW/gc

Where OCT is the octal value and NEW is the new value. Leave NEW empty if you want to remove these characters.
