Feature Request: An option to edit on "cooked" backslash escapes, especially for tabs
As a translator I sometimes want to see the alignments done by TABs. However, POedit always show all these characters escaped (like in po sources), forcing me to always copy-paste the text to elsewhere like notepad to see the results.
It would be great if POedit can show tabs as tabs in such situations. As an extra request, I would like to see the tab chars highlighted, maybe with indicators like ------->
or ↹
.
(CLI alignment check can only be valid when \\
escapes (produce an extra column) are not present, so backslashes need to be cooked too, and here goes the make-everything-raw title.)
(Actually all I want to cook are \t
, \\
, and \n
.)
I am using POedit 1.8.7 on Windows 10.
Such an option will also be useful for editing files processed with msgcat -E
(just the opposite of #269).
