| default | If you specify the default parameter for the set showWhitespaceChar command, the current view will use the value of default.showWhitespaceChar to determine whether to display whitespace characters. |
| on | If you specify the on parameter for the set showWhitespaceChar command, whitespace characters will be displayed in the current view; If you specify the on parameter for the set default.showWhitespaceChar command, whitespace characters will be displayed in all the views that have showWhitespaceChar set to default. |
| off | If you specify the off parameter for the set showWhitespaceChar command, whitespace characters will not be displayed in the current view. If you specify the off parameter for the set default.showWhitespaceChar command, whitespace characters will not display in all the views that have showWhitespaceChar set to default. |
| install | If you specify the install parameter for the set default.showWhitespaceChar command, all of the views that have showWhitespaceChar set to default will use the value of install.showWhitespaceChar to determine whether to display whitespace characters. |
If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set showWhitespaceChar command, default is assumed. If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set default.showWhitespaceChar command, install is assumed.
The query current.showWhitespaceChar command returns on if whitespace characters are displayed in the current view or off if whitespace are not displayed.
