ed has the ability to show hidden characters with the `l` command. As far as I know sam doesn't have such a command, and for the most part I haven't really needed it. Sometimes however I'd like to see which whitespace is tabs and which spaces, and also would like to work with only spaces and no tabs (not sure this is possible in sam).
I now rely on an external script to detabify when necessary: ``` #!/bin/sh #detab - Convert tabs to spaces # Usage in sam: select text, then |detab expand -t 2 ``` Outside of the detab script, however, I lack solutions.I would appreciate any ideas on this.
