      What command do I use to display invisible characters in a file?
      Or, if this capability does not exist, Can I request that it be added as a new functionality.

        Hello @Murray-Sobol,

        What do you mean by invisbile characters? (Tab, EOL, Space)
        View->Show Symbol->Show all characters ?

        Cheers
        Claudia

          Yes, that’s what I mean… tabs, eol, space…but it only shows invisible characters at the end of a line…
          I want to see ALL invisible characters ANYWHERE in a line…

            As far as I can determine, there is NO difference in the output when I use Show Symbol->Show all characters vs Show Symbol->Show End of Line.
            The outputs should be different (IMO).

              Hello, @Murray-Sobol
              there are difference but in default configuration they are hardly seen.

              Goto
              Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->White space symbols
              and set foreground color to black

              then it should be more obvious.

              Cheers
