Atom Editor-view whitespace character

Question

I am a newbie in python and I like Atom Editor, you know the indentation precision and spaces control is really important.

How can Atom-editor show non printable characters (I'm interested in SPACEs and TABs)?

Answer 1

There is a Show Invisibles checkbox in the Editor Settings.

You can customize how these characters look too.

Answer 2

To show white space chars in Atom open up the config file ( file --> config). Then under the invisibles:{} line enter this line:

showInvisibles: true 

Then save the file. The white spaces will now be visible such as spaces; tabs & EOL
