Description andersborg 2006-02-10 15:07:47 UTC
I've found that the editor doesn't remove trailing spaces in lines even when
saving the source file. Trailing spaces have absolutely no significance, but can
cause trouble when printing etc, so I would recommend they are removed.

well, we've been trying to avoid unnecessary changes since those may cause
conflicts in version control systems. you are making a valid point though so I
guess it will require feedback from other as well

There is a module "Remove Whitespace" which I think accomplishes exactly what is
being asked for. If I remember correctly there was some mentioning of
implementing in the module an option to invoke this feature upon saving a file.
Guess it would solve the issue.

Iwan, thank you for pointing it out.

I think that it's more general issue therefore I'm reassigning to editor.

Please add an option to do this on saving a file. My actions when saving a file
now consist of:
1. Remove Trailing Spaces
2. Fix Imports
3. Organize Imports
It would be great if there was some way to automate this. I guess I could define
a keyboard macro, but it just strikes me as something that the editor could be
doing for me.

I agree that the option needs to be defaulted to off for those that don't want
it messing with version control.

I would like to see this too or at least the ability to set a macro to it. Right now, you can't record a macro that
contains a save action.

Fixed in 6.5, see issue #13063.
