Make No Break Text visible
It would be quite useful if No Break text was visible; for example, as a shaded background – see my mockup image.
Currently, No Break is visible only as a text override (and then it gets lumped in with all other overrides, so you still have to click each override to see where it got applied).

If Adobe doesn't do it, I might as well make a suggestion here. Put this javascript in the folder where the other user scripts are.
Window, Utilities, Scripts. Rightclick on folder User scripts, and show in Explorer/Finder. Where you have manually applied No Break, or have it applied through GREP, this script will highlight in a color of your choice.
OOPs Since it is not possible for me to upload a jsx-file or zip, I cannot offer the solution I made for this. You can send me an email and I will send the script to you. peter@pixelsenpaginas.nl -

It is particularly nasty when I edit a paragraph that has some No Break elements within it. If I, for example, expand a paragraph by accidentally selecting within a No Break region when I begin my editing, I get the crazy "infinite pages inserted" phenomenon that takes an undo to recover from.
Seeing my No Break selections also allows me to error-check my document for regions of text that should be No Break designated, but that I've accidentally missed.
It would be VERY useful to be able to see my No Break regions.
