Terminals have supported box drawing symbols since the beginning of time – but Vim always insists on using ugly ASCII approximations to draw boxes and lines. For example:
:vsplit
creates a ridiculous column of pipes down the middle of the screen- Folding results in a garish mishmash of hyphens and plus signs
I like Vim, but this is just a crime against fashion. Is there any way I can convince Vim to use the less awful Unicode symbols instead?
