Description xeal 2007-09-27 11:11:56 UTC
Every programmer's editor has these two features and it's really disappointing to not find them in NetBeans.

There are some (more or less working) plugins that offer these features, but they should really be part of the core
editor, not some third-party plugin.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-09-27 13:45:38 UTC
Could you add links where to find those plugins? Thanks

View and of line is already implemented by Mila. It is accessible via View --> Show Non-printable Characters. It does not visually mark the space character. Putting this into the plan for 7.1.
Comment 6 Miloslav Metelka 2011-05-19 13:48:53 UTC
View space character implemented:

NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201107160600)
Java: 1.7.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b17
Linux

I do not know that means DocumentView.PRINTING_SPACE (http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/1c1a4b832185), but I see no points. 
In a 30 line. From the beginning of line to the word obviously more than one tabulation.
Comment 10 yuriy_lalym 2011-07-16 18:55:49 UTC
And if I get it right, there was integration into 'main - golden' accordingly it becomes DEFECT instead of ENHANCEMENT
Comment 11 Miloslav Metelka 2011-09-16 15:10:56 UTC
Apologies, the commit got lost by a large code rewrite.
