OTOH, on 21.3.50 it is already easy to keep track of it: (when (facep 'trailing-whitespace) (setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t) (set-face-attribute 'trailing-whitespace nil :foreground "red" :background "black" :underline t)) or whatever other face setting that makes it stand out clearly. -- Juanma Barranquero
