Problem to solve

As a reviewer I don't know the type of whitespace character the author used for their change, for example space vs tab. It's also difficult to see if there are unnecessary spaces (or tabs) being used.

Intended users

• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Presley (Product Designer)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)
• Sidney (Systems Administrator)
• Simone (Software Engineer in Test)

Further details

Proposal

Provide a mechanism through which users can optionally toggle showing whitespace character types, as is done in most text editors/IDEs.

Availability & Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
