1. Open Vim from Terminal

2. Type

   :set list
   

3. You see an output like the one below
   

4. If you want see each space as character, type this command

   :set listchars=eol:$,tab:>-,trail:~,extends:>,precedes:<
   

5. The output should look like below
   

Very simple and useful tip! :)
