How to highlight whitespace characters in matches?

[molleweide]

In target ab where b = whitespace should I expect it to be highlighted somehow, because it is not for me.

By default, no, but you can set require('lightspeed').opts.substitute_chars[' '] = <whatever you want spaces in matches to be displayed as>. newline is the only one for which such a substitute char is set by default (¬).
