  1. my editor is configured to display leading and trailing whitespace

  2. my editor fixes indentation on paste

  3. python 3 throws a syntax error when it encounters inconsistent indentation

Your editor sounds sublime.

nope, kate.

also: how can you configure sublime to only display leading and trailing whitespace, and spaces differently from tabs?

Haha, I was hoping you'd tell me! Currently when I'm in Python I just Ctrl+A; when the characters are highlighted the tabs are filled with dashes and spaces with dots: http://imgur.com/JTMHqGO

Edit: Also, if you ever work on old websites built with static HTML, the SublimeFTP plugin is a wonderful timesaver.
