The Control Characters plugin enhances Obsidian's editing experience by visually displaying control characters, such as spaces, tabs, and newline markers, in edit mode. Users can configure the plugin to show characters globally or only within selected text for better control. Settings can be customized per note using YAML frontmatter, allowing granular adjustments such as showing only specific control characters like newlines or tabs. The plugin integrates with the Style Settings plugin for additional visual customization, ensuring seamless adaptation to personal workflows. It is designed for the new editor and is not compatible with the legacy editor.
