MS Word has a useful tool called "Show/Hide". According to the
documentation (link at the bottom),
"The Show/Hide ¶ button turns hidden characters like spaces,
paragraph markers, or tab marks on and off."
I am looking for a similar tool or feature in LyX. Can any one point
it out for me? I couldn't find it.
I think LyX only has a toggle for end of paragraph markers: Tools /
Preferences / Look & Feel / Display / Mark end of paragraphs
It makes no sense to mark the spaces because it has a different meaning for
MS Word and TeX, e.g. 7 spaces is the same as 1 space for TeX
But LyX is not a TeX source editor. And it can happen in LyX that a
*single* space is hard to see. It is explained in the enhancement
request I referenced below. (Furthermore, there are environments, even
in plain TeX that accept more than one space such as verbatim.)
There is also an enhancement request for spaces:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11435
But it hasn't gotten much love yet. You could chime in there with your
ideas.
