    The icon that @Radosław showed is a toggle button in the toolbar. Click it to toggle whitespace.

      @thannara123 and if you can't see it on a toolbar, it's under the 'Window' menu:

      As the name suggests, it's showing you all the whitespace characters - CR, LF, Space, and TAB.

       

      Note that this is a standard Eclipse feature - not specific to CubeIDE - and common to most IDEs and Programmer's Editors.

        You can configure it in Window>Preferences>Editors>Text Editors then click on the link configure visibility. And select/deselected what you want your IDE to show or not.
