    It has a few quirks I utterly despise :(

    Like it cannot print invisible characters. Had a script create some broken folders with a BOM character at the beginning. I couldn’t access the files in any way except that they appeared in dolphin and ls. Had to delete them via the fucking inode.

    I was forced to use VSCode (an open source fork at least) to find out what the fuck was wrong with the input file the script used to generate the folder name.

      I was looking at an option to display invisible characters in Kate like last week. So it got better, I guess.

        Only non-printable spaces from what I can tell.

        The BOM character does not fall into this category and is still invisible. Try pasting it into Kate. It’s between those arrows:
