Description Olivier Crête 2017-08-01 12:09:43 UTC
There is a "Whitespace Characters" option in the Editor preferences, but there is no explanation or tooltop explaining what this does?
Comment 1 sébastien lafargue 2017-08-01 16:17:51 UTC
hi, i change it for "Visible Whitespace Characters"

No easy way to set a tooltip here, we need an libdazzle API change for this, no sure is worth doing it.

And anyway, the details should be in the help documentation (which we don't have yet)

I still don't understand what this is from this string? Is it "Make those whitespace characters visible?" or something like that.
Comment 5 sébastien lafargue 2017-08-03 07:18:48 UTC
All our strings in prefs are simple names not action and it's a pretty common feature you can remember the meaning easily.

As i said: "the details should be in the help documentation"
