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.
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.
