URL: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57860> Summary: GUI editor should offer a setting to remove trailing whitespace when saving Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: mtmiller Submitted on: Wed 19 Feb 2020 12:41:32 PM PST Category: GUI Severity: 1 - Wish Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Feature Request Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: dev Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Many programming editors offer a command or a setting to automatically remove all trailing whitespace at the ends of lines in a file when the file is saved. I think the Octave GUI editor should offer such a setting in the Editor preferences. When enabled, all lines will be automatically filtered to trim trailing spaces and tabs (and any other non-ASCII space-like characters?). This would help new contributors edit and write m-file functions for submission to Octave, since this is part of our coding style guide. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57860> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
