Feature Request: An option to edit on "cooked" backslash escapes, especially for tabs #271

Open

Description

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.
