I'm using org-indent-mode. As far as I understand, the whitespace on the left is an overlay.

org-indent-mode overlay

When you use this mode in conjunction with whitespace-mode, then there appears whitespace indications (dots) in the org-mode overlay on the left.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Specifically, how to get rid of the whitespace markings in the org-mode-indent's overlay?

You might ask yourself, white not remove the whitespace-mode? It's useful in marking the whitepaces in the buffer itself. Like... well I use it quite successfully, I just want to remove it from the damn overlay.

Thanks

P.S. All of this is in emacs vanilla, no other programs than the one's packages by GNU.

The version is: 24.5.1

  • In most cases, whitespace visualization is not done with overlays, but is instead done with altering the buffer-display-table. See my comment to your prior semi-related post: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/14006/2287 – lawlist Nov 01 '15 at 01:00

Customize option whitespace-display-mappings, to get rid of this entry:

(space-mark   ?\     [?\u00B7]     [?.])        ; space - centered dot

That maps a SPC char to a centered dot.

M-x customize-option RET whitespace-display-mappings RET

This is the entry to remove or change, in the Customize UI:

You can just click the first DEL to remove it, if you do not want SPC chars mapped to other chars. (Save your changes when done.)

    Hey man. This doesn't work. It removed all the whitespace markings. In the buffer and in the overlay. You see, the whitepsace in org-indent-mode, are not in the buffer (it's not in the file) as far as I understand. It's an overlay. I want to make those white spaces - in the overlay - not be marked. – Jenia Ivanov Nov 01 '15 at 02:50
  • @Drew -- in a related thread, mentioned in my comment underneath the original question hereinabove, phils asked this same original poster about the variable whitespace-style and whether it contained space-mark. The original poster never responded to the question by phils, but it may be relevant to both questions -- i.e., for this question, the O.P. should remove space-mark, and for the other question, the original poster should add space-mark. – lawlist Nov 01 '15 at 16:41
