Great news, #VSCode now highlights "all uncommon invisible characters in source code"! 🎉
This means the Gremlins extension should remove these characters, but I think it is still useful for some others.
Did @StepsizeHQ use a screenshot of my own Gremlins extension for #VSCode to illustrate a similar extension but made for JetBrains?
Looks like he did… 😅
Wait, has one of my pet projects just been promoted in a @smashingmag article? 😲😍

Look for #Gremlins… Yes, really.
Gremlins tracker for #VSCode v0.26.0 is there!
You can now define gremlins settings per language! 🎉
For example, a right double quotation mark (”, unicode U+201d) can be perfectly acceptable in Markdown, but weird in another format…
Gremlins tracker for #VSCode v0.25.0 is there!
You can now configure a character as perfectly acceptable, it will not show a gremlin anymore. 👻
Settings also now have IntelliSense for the available values! 🎉
My Gremlins extension for #VSCode has already been installed more than 100 000 times, and downloaded almost 300 000 times! 😳
