Is there a shortcut for showing (or hiding) all characters in Notepad++?

If find seeing all characters useful in the following two scenarios:

1. When I want to see the characters which start a newline CR (\r) and LF (\n)
2. For checking a python code for tabs and 4 spaces (basically to distinguish between the two)

That's where the Notepad++ feature to show all characters comes in handy. It would have been even more convenient if there were to be a keyboard shortcut for the same. I wasn't able to find one using Google.

Notepad++ allows you to customize your shorcuts. You simply need to go to the Settings menu and then go to the Shortcut Mapper option.
