Does anyone know of a text editor on Linux that allows me to see line breaks and carriage returns? Does Vim support this feature?
You can view break lines using gedit editor.
First, if you don't have installed:
sudo apt-get install gedit
Now, install gedit plugins:
sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
and select Draw Spaces plugin, enter on Preferences, and chose Draw new lines
Using VSCode you can install Line endings extension.
Sublime Text 3 has a plugin called RawLineEdit that will display line endings and allow the insertion of arbitrary line-ending type
shift + ctrl + p and start type the name of the plugin, and toggle to show line ending.
