How can I change vertical spacing (and indents) of \paragraph, list and list item elements in KOMA-script article class? Is there some canonical way to do this?

i need

I've tried to use titlesec package, but it doesn't change \paragraph vertical space.

    A compilable example is always welcome so we have something to start with. In any case, you can customize spacing with enumitem package (for the list) and with \RedeclareSectionCommand (for the \paragraph spacing). – Manuel Feb 21 '16 at 21:16
  • @Manuel Thanks. I made so, and everything works fine (almost). – Ladomyr Feb 21 '16 at 22:16

    Except for the minimal compilable example :) – Manuel Feb 21 '16 at 22:18

Unfortunaly there is no MWE in the question. The OP must have changed something regarding the \paragraph definition because with the original definition there would be some space inserted before the paragraph heading.

Here is an example using enumitem and \RedeclareSectionCommand as suggested by @Manuel in a comment.

enter image description here

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{enumitem}
\newlist{myitemize}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[myitemize]{label=-,leftmargin=*,nosep,after=\medskip}

\RedeclareSectionCommand[
  beforeskip=.5\baselineskip
]{paragraph}

\setlength\parindent{2em}

\usepackage{blindtext}% only dummy text
\begin{document}
\blindtext

\paragraph{paragraph text}
\begin{myitemize}
  \item list item 1
  \item list item 2
  \item list item 3
\end{myitemize}

\blindtext
\end{document}

Ok, there are a lot of implicit questions here.

  1. If you want to play with the paragraphs' indentation, set the length for said indentation with \setlength{parindent}{size}, where size means either pt, mm, in, or any other length dimension. If you want no indentation, type the \noindent command at the beginning of the paragraph.

  2. If you want to play with the paragraphs' separation between them, set the amount of space with \setlength{parskip}{size}, where size mean either pt, mm, in or any other length dimension. Although playing with parskip doesn't seem to be a good idea. Check here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/14565/27833

  3. If you want to play with the amount of space between text lines, I suggest you take a look at the setspace package, and use something like \onehalfspacing for issuing more space between them.

  4. For separation between item in an itemize or enumerate environment, take a look at the enumitem package. You can set up the amount of space with the itemsep option. Run the code below to see all the examples I mentioned.

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{enumitem} %For list environments
\usepackage{setspace} %For line spacing

\usepackage{kantlipsum} %For dummy text

\begin{document}

%Normal spacing between text lines 
\kant[1]

%One and half spacing between text lines 
\onehalfspacing
\kant[1]

%No indentation 
\noindent \kant[1]

%Lots of indentation 
\setlength{\parindent}{30mm} 
\kant[1]

%More vertical space between paragraphs (See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/14565/27833)
\setlength{\parskip}{20mm}

\kant[1]

\kant[1]

\begin{itemize}[itemsep={20mm}]

\item hola1 
\item hola2 
\item hola3

\end{itemize}


\end{document}

    Do not change \parskip manually (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/14565/43317). There is a parskip option with different values (see the documentation) for the KOMA-Script classes. Or if you need really special settings you can use the KOMA-Script command \setparsizes{<indent>}{<distance>}{<last line end space>}. – esdd Feb 21 '16 at 22:32

Without MWE difficult to say. What about this:

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{paralist, blindtext}

\begin{document}

\section*{You get}
\label{CLA:you-get}

\blindtext

\paragraph{paragraph text}

\begin{compactitem}
  \item list item 1
  \item list item 2
  \item list item 3
\end{compactitem}
\bigskip

\blindtext{}

\end{document}
