Sublime Text 2 - View whitespace characters

Solution 1:

To view whitespace the setting is:

// Set to "none" to turn off drawing white space, "selection" to draw only the
// white space within the selection, and "all" to draw all white space
"draw_white_space": "selection",

You can see it if you go into Preferences->Settings Default. If you edit your user settings (Preferences->Settings - User) and add the line as per below, you should get what you want:

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Slush & Poppies.tmTheme",
    "font_size": 10,
    "draw_white_space": "all"
}

Remember the settings are JSON so no trailing commas.

Solution 2:

In selected text, Space is shown as a middle dot (·) and Tab as a long dash (—).

Solution 3:

I use Unicode Character Highlighter, can show whitespaces and some other special characters.

Add this by, Package Control

Install packages, unicode ...
