I was looking at bootstrap.js file and I noticed a strange (to me) notation for declare functions for plugins

Is there a difference between these two declaration: 

function($)

and

function ($)

if it is not clear there is a blank char between function and ($) in the second declaration. I'm wondering of this because sublime text gives me two different color on ($)

No, it makes no difference.

JavaScript is mostly white space independent language, so apart from obvious cases (as in inside string or regex literals), and some not so obvious corner cases (multi-line return statements which sometimes break due to ASI), indentation and white space does not change the outcome of your code.

It seems to be a bug with the ST highlighter, and my OCD side also dislikes having differently colored $ signs in the code. =]
