[Nano-devel] the default whitespace indicators

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi all,

For doing whitespace display, currently the default two characters for
indicating a tab and a space are... two spaces.  :|  I remember when I
first wanted to use this feature: Alt+P, Alt+P, Alt+P... why isn't this
working!?  Only upon reading the man pages, did it become clear something
had to be set in .nanorc for this to actually work.

Wouldn't it be more useful if the default two characters were visible
ones, say ":" and "." (plain ASCII ones, so it will work in any locale)?

Any objections, comments, better ideas?

Regards,

Benno
