Thu 20 Jan 2022 03:04:20 PM UTC, comment #6: There is no GUI text editor that displays whitespace as visible characters by default. That's where I stop reading. And then: nano is not a GUI editor. Also, there is no option to start nano with the Y toggle in the off position (and there won't be). There is also no rc option to run nano in view mode (it existed, but I removed it). Those things are not needed -- audience is too small, not worth having the option. |

I feel like since nano already has whitespace display implemented, it should be possible to turn it on via nanorc.

Thu 23 Dec 2021 04:21:27 PM UTC, comment #3: The question was: what's the use case? Why would the user want to have whitespacedisplay on by default? |

Thu 23 Dec 2021 12:18:35 PM UTC, comment #2: M-P is just toggling whitespace display. The intent of this change is to allow setting its default value via nanorc - so if you want whitespace display, you don't have to press M-P to turn it on every time you open a new file.

Thu 23 Dec 2021 12:04:50 PM UTC, comment #1: Thanks for the patch. But... what's the use case? Do you really want nano to always show spaces as dots and tabs as guillemets? And then use M-P to switch it /off/? I cannot imagine it.
