Add `show-whitespace` toggle button

See original GitHub issue

Issuehunt badges

I like the new show-whitespaces feature. But it’s enabled by default, with no easy way to toggle it on or off.

What if we add a toggle button (just like the ?w=1 toggle).

Maybe unchecked by default.

Honestly I don’t see the value in this. I never disable whitespace in my editor so why would anyone need to do it here?

Most people had a knee-jerk reaction when the feature was added but this isn’t a solution to that. Those who don’t like the feature can just disable (or already have), we already have options for this.

Adding a distracting toggle for this seems futile. I’d close this issue

Just to give my two cents: this is very noisy for me and is the sort of feature that would make me consider removing the extension if it stays enabled for too long.

You can always go to Refined GitHub options and disable show-whitespace feature: image No need to completely remove this extension.
