Hi Kyle,

You've probably thought of these ideas before, but maybe you haven't 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Have you tried enabling "View" -> "Show invisible characters"?

What about using a different font? I like [Source Code 
Pro[1]](https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro) but [there are a 
lot of 
choices[2]](http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts/).

How about "Show indent guides"?

There's also [this ancient post that enables a "indent 
guide"[3]](https://stackoverflow.com/a/17492004/1167956) in a completely 
different way. Speaking of this, @team friendly bump to make the "Show 
indent guides" smarter...

Hope that helps,
Graham
