There does not seem to be hot keys or toolbar buttons for view whitespace or view line endings. I seem to have to go into the preferences to toggle on/off. Is there a way? I really need to toggle these from the edit window toolbar or hot key combinations.
For a toolbar button we would need an icon. If you have any suggestions, it could be easily added.
Putting it on the toolbar may be a bit too much, since that is for more commonly used functions and many folks don't like a cluttered
Sure, if ever, it won't be visible by default. But as long as there is no suitable icon, it's not worth talking about it.
toolbar. But having to go into to preferences to change it is too much work. I need to change it occasionally but not often enough to remember where it is buried in the preferences. (Preferences->Editor tab->Display tab->Show white space) How about making a 'Show white space' option available under the View menu?
Adding it to the View menu seems to me to be the same as adding toolbar items, at least partly. At some point it also feels bloated. But we could add a submenu to the View menu and put there editor related view options, like:
View->Editor->Show Whitespace View->Editor->Show indentation guides View->Editor->Show Line numbers View->Editor->Show Markers Margin
Sounds great to me! And since it only shows in the submenu, could you also include:
View->Editor->Show line endings
