## Synopsis
This is a plugin for [Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/2) and [3](http://www.sublimetext.com/3).
**Highlight whitespaces in documents**
This plugin will highlight each tab or more-than-one space in the document.
## Installation
Go to your `Packages` subdirectory under ST2's data directory:
* Windows: `%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 2`
* OS X: `~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages`
* Linux: `~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages`
* Portable Installation: `Sublime Text 2/Data`
Then clone this repository:
```git clone git://github.com/disq/HighlightWhitespaces.git```
That's it!
Note for ST3 users: For Sublime Text 3, replace "2" with "3" in path names. (`%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3` and so on)
## Options
Several options are available to customize the plugin look 'n feel. The
config keys goes into config files accessible throught the "Preferences"
menu.
### Toggle highlight shortcut
The default toggle highlight shortcut is ```ctrl+alt+w``` (```cmd+alt+w``` for OS X)
### Disable highlighting when Sublime Text starts up
Change `highlight_whitespaces_enabled` from the default of `true` to `false`.
### Change the highlighting color
One may also change the highlighting color, providing a scope name such
as "invalid", "comment"... in "File Settings - User":
```
{
"highlight_whitespaces_space_highlight_scope_name": "invalid",
"highlight_whitespaces_tab_highlight_scope_name": "invalid"
}
```
Actually, "invalid" is the default value. If you'd like to use a custom color,
it should be defined as a color scope in your theme file. Feel free to ask me
how to do it.
### Disabling highlighting for large files
Highlighting may be disabled for large files. The default threshold is around
1M chars. This is configurable (in "File Settings - User"); unit is number of chars:
```
{ "highlight_whitespaces_file_max_size": 1000}
```
