In my .gvimrc I have following lines:

set listchars=tab:\.\ ,trail:-
set softtabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set tabstop=2
set expandtab

When I change last line to set noexpandtab the indents can be seen and marked with .

Is there a way to make vim treat expanded tabs like "normal" tab so that list option works as expected?
