DW 2019 on macOS: [Non breaking space] Insert the unicode character " " (U+00A0) instead of the entity "& n b s p ;" with CMD+SHIFT+SPACE

Report · Dec 12, 2018

I use the latest version of macOS Mojave and DW 2019.

DW 2014 shows the unicode character of a non breaking space as a little gray circle in the code view. That's fine.

DW 2019 does not show it.

How can I get DW 2019 to visualize a non breaking space in the code view and as well in the design view.

A typical visualization in a text processing software like office word is to show a little circle:

Thanks for your help.

@Ben

Thanks.

was so kind to answer my question in another thread (while this was locked).

His helpful answer:

***

As Brackets is the code editor in Dreamweaver you could try this extension to 'visualise' non breaking spaces and tabs in code view:

I'm a windows user and would copy the Brackets extension folder to path:

C:\Users\paulm\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2019\en_US\Configuration\Brackets\extensions\user\

So you need the equivalent on Mac.

I found the equivalent folder on macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC 2019/de_DE/Configuration/Brackets/extensions/user

It worked fine.

Now the "non breaking spaces" are visualized in the code view as a red dot.

But they are still not visualiszed in the design view.

Is that posible too?
