Show all consecutive EOLs in VSCode

I tried several extensions and settings, but I was not able to make VSCode show all the EOLs (i.e. the file "as it is"), here is an example of the same few lines of a file as displayed by:

VSCode (unfaithful)

and Notepad++ (faithful)

In general I always prefer to see the file I'm editing "as it is", VSCode has nice colors and styles but it's unreasonable (especially if you deal with TeX) that it hides characters as it likes.

Solution

  • I do think the ShowEOL

    With setting like:

    "showeol.eol.character.crlf": " [CRLF]",
"showeol.eol.character.lf": "[LF]",
"showeol.eol.color": "#229DCA",
"showeol.eof.color": "#229DCA"

    give a pretty nice view, and I think the colors can be changed to you likings

    EDIT: Multiple consecutive EOL's are rendered as single (according to comment), but how to reproduce this? (Screenshot was taken in Windows11)
