Description
To @don-ho and the N++ team,
I have thought about some improvements to this new and valuable feature !
No need to repeat myself ! Simply refer to my single post below :
Note that, if these described improvements were accepted, the wording of the option could be changed to :
View > Show Symbol > Show BMP Format chars / Non Regular Spaces
This would be the exact meaning of this new command !
Best Regards,
