Show all invisible characters

[postcasio]

Is there a way to get Atom to apply the invisible-character class to all invisible spaces, instead of just those at the start and end of the line?

Tabs are shown anywhere on the line, but spaces are only shown at the start and end.

Not currently. We can leave this open though as a placeholder for adding it.

Are you sure, this is normal?

I think that better:

Is this issue still being looked at? Is there a way to do this through an package?

[nathansobo]

There's probably not a good way to do this through a package as it's pretty baked into the editor implementation. I anticipate some changes to the layer that handles invisibles in the near future for performance reasons. After that, I'd happily entertain a PR that added this.

I just had a problem with a punctuation space lurking in my bash script. Tearing my hair out trying to figure out why bash couldn't find cat somefile. ⬅ that's not a space.

Edit: Oh, right. There are reactions now.
