Whitespace Characters

The Whitespace Characters tool displays otherwise invisible spaces and tabs in Blender’s Text Editor, inspired by the feature in VS Code. This helps you identify formatting issues, trailing spaces, and indentation inconsistencies—especially important in languages like Python where whitespace matters.


🗝️ Key Features

  • Shows small visual markers for spaces and tabs.

  • Helps detect accidental double spaces or mixed indentation.

  • Updates in real-time as you type or edit.

  • Works with both spaces and tabs, following your Text Editor’s indentation settings.


🛠️ Usage

  1. In the Text Editor, locate the Textify popover in the header.

  2. Check the box for Whitespace Characters.

  3. Once enabled, whitespace markers will appear in all text blocks.
