Description Mark A. Ziesemer CLA 2005-08-24 16:58:32 EDT 
I'd like the ability to view "hidden characters" / "visible spaces" while text 
editing, a feature common to most text editors e.g. TextPad, EditPlus, even MS 
Word.  Currently, I need to use something like Checkstyle to find extra 
characters I don't want in my source code, e.g. extra spaces at the ends of 
lines, etc.

I will attach a screenshot as an example.

(Forgive me if this is a duplicate, but after repeated searches, I was unable 
to find anything related to this.)
