Hi,

is it possible to change the display of tabulator-characters. Im some cases
it's very important to know if there is a tab or 8 spaces.

ciao

In Emacs you could use "stretch cursor" that makes the cursor fill whole Tab
position if there is one. Or, the following from my .emacs file:

(and standard-display-table (aset standard-display-table ?\C-i ; Show tabs highlighted
(vector (+ ?\C-i (* (face-id 'highlight) 524288) ))))

I use "blank-mode" for this, which I think I got from
http://www.cpqd.com.br/~vinicius/emacs/ (at least, that's
the URI given in the .el file.
