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

Hit the F1 button, then type "Toggle Render Whitespace" or the parts of it you can remember :)

I use vscode version 1.22.2 so this could be a feature that did not exist back in 2015.
