editor.renderWhitespace should have option for selection+trailing

Right now you’re limited to picking between selection (old) or trailing (new), but if you want both behaviours you’re out of luck.

There should be an option allowing both to be true.

Yeah, it was a mistake IMO to model these as a single value. Should be a series of checkboxes, e.g:

* Render trailing whitespace

* Render leading whitespace

* Render all whitespace in selection

* And one for the "boundary" option, which I frankly don't even understand.

Boundary is trailing + leading + more than single space within the text. This is boundary, the red arrow is the whitespace rendering for more than single space

If it was a series of checkboxes it would solve my request, I want boudary without the last one, I could just tick leading and trailing.

Hi, I would like to implement this.🖐️

In my opinion, you could model this with an array of strings (corresponding to the options) or an object with the options as keys and booleans as values. Feel free to suggest other ways.🙂

Also, are there any other requirements from the core contributors?
