Display whitespace characters in iTerm2

iterm2whitespace

In most text editors I can display whitespace characters, e.g. tabs as arrows ⟶ , spaces as middle dots ·

Is it possible to do this in iTerm2?

I don't think you can do it directly. Maybe if you had a custom font that shows indents.

Alternatively, bats does allow you to show non-printable characters.

If you are using VIM, you can also add nicer tabs with:

"Show nice tabs
"===============
set listchars=tab:>-,trail:~,extends:>,precedes:<
set list
