Visible tab stops (tab/space character screen representation)
Patch against 5.7 release.
Patch against 5.7 release.
I have started a patch for Nedit 5.6 that changes the screen representation of the tab (\t) and space ( ) characters to » (char 187) and (char 183) respectively. Here is a summary of the current changes (hard coded); textBuf.c; ~l43: #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH #ifdef VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH_TAB_REPLACE_FIRST_CHARACTER_ONLY #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH_TAB_REPLACEMENT_CHAR (char)187 /* '»' default: ' ' */ #define VISIBLE_TAB_STOPS_PATCH_SPACE_REPLACEMENT_CHAR...
A problem with this method is that the tab character highlight gets overridden by the selection background colour while text is selected. This is an issue when selecting a section of text at a specific indentation level.
