Bug ID: 488784
Summary: icon request: show whitespaces / show all characters
Classification: Plasma
Product: Breeze
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Icons
Assignee: visual-des...@kde.org
Reporter: wzc782970...@gmail.com
CC: kain...@gmail.com, m...@nueljl.in
Target Milestone: ---
I'm a user of Notepad++-style editor, which provides a lot of common-used
features in their toolbar and makes the toolbar icon-only. One of the features
is "Show all characters" which allows user see all characters which are usually
hard to distinguish or invisible, like Tab and Space, CR LF and LF.
I'd like to contribute such a feature to Kate so I can use it the same way, so
icons for such action are needed. The icons I think we might need are:
1. Show whitespaces
2. Show non-printable spaces
3. Show all characters
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you would like to try out the "Show all characters" feature but don't want
to install Windows or use Wine, you can try other Notepad++-clones like the
following ones, which I confirmed have such feature:
- Notepadqq: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/notepadqq/
- NotepadNext: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.dail8859.NotepadNext
- Notepad--: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/notepad---git
- Textosaurus: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.martinrotter.textosaurus
About the feature itself, I currently have a MR to add the "Show whitespaces"
action to KTextEditor, see:
