Show Invisibles Does Not Show Spaces #1583

Open bobrocke opened 10 years ago

bobrocke commented 10 years ago

Show invisibles does not show tabs or spaces. At least not for me. He's the screenshot of an HTML file with "show invisibles" on. You can see the return characters, but no spaces. There are spaces in there.

spaces

During the alphas it did show spaces, with a one pixel dot. People complained it was too annoying. Can't win!

@fileability optional config? O:)

@fileability I can imagine the frustration. But show invisibles is supposed to be annoying and why one toggles it on and off as needed.

If you do much work with YAML, you'll need it. YAML wants a certain number of spaces and no tabs - you need to see what's there.

Most modern programmer's editors have the ability to display spaces with invisibles because of the need to double check for the presence/absence of those pesky spaces.

@atg, can this be included in a update as a toggle?
