Show invisible characters (tab, space, return) in field

[Kaveh Bazargan]

Thanks Bob. I did mean non-printing characters. I think just space, tab and
return.

The problem with replacing with with a character is that of course it is
not a space any more, so text would not wrap as normal. I need the user to
edit as normal and with normal functionality but see the normally invisible
characters. So seems I would need a native solution. :-(
