Well, there are some reasons that I personally would like to avoid that. Firstly this feature itself is more of a view-level function, modifying the model sounds weird[1]. Secondly, even replace them with other visible characters, it's still not possible to adjust the character width (e.g. replace the ZWSP to another character but I still like to display it with wider than regular characters. And by doing so may also affect how the syntax-highlight stuff works. [1]: context: my attempt is to add such feature to KDE Framework's KTextEditor, currently it seems no existing actions are using methods to update the model to affect the view if I recall correctly.
