Gedit plugin to imitate TextMate space and tab functionality

I saw that nice TextMate functionality that shows a little arrow on tabulation and that ¬ symbol that is usefull to trace unnecessary whitespaces.

I have gmate plugins, but this functionality doesnt seems to be there.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Gedit ships with a plugin called "Draw Spaces" which will show characters for all whitespaces including tabs, spaces and line feeds. Simply enable it in Edit > Preferences > Plugins > Draw Spaces.
