Today, we’re taking a look at Emacs’s whitespace-mode and discussing how we can simplify its configuration to make it more applicable for most use cases.

    I find whitespace-mode invaluable in finding trailing whitespace, use of literal tabs and the like I always have it on when looking at code. Good tips in the article but I wish it had screen shots / showed examples.

      For trailing whitespace, isn’t simply the variable show-trailing-whitespace enough?

      I’m discovering about whitespace-mode and found this article which helped me to understand the package. Do you know if it allows to display TAB with a specific background colour?
