Follow-up Comment #12, bug #57861 (project octave): I think it's just two different valid perspectives on how a plain text file should be represented. I think an editor that shows the last newline in a file is doing it wrong. I am hoping for a switch between the two behaviors, so people who like standard Unix file and editor semantics can have that, and people who want to see the newline as an extra line at the end can have that. The final newline in a file isn't "hidden" in my perspective, it's just that a line always ends with a newline, if there's nothing after it then don't show a blank line. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57861> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
