Show whitespace characters in Visual Studio Code

Question

Is it possible to show whitespace characters, like the space character, in Visual Studio Code?

There doesn\'t appear to be an option for it in the settings.js

Answer 1

It is not a boolean anymore. They switched to an enum. Now we can choose between: none, boundary, and all.

// Controls how the editor should render whitespace characters,
// posibilties are 'none', 'boundary', and 'all'.
// The 'boundary' option does not render single spaces between words.
"editor.renderWhitespace": "none",
