This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3967 DESCRIPTION This plugin deletes whitespace at the end of each line, on demand via the :DeleteTrailingWhitespace command, or automatically when the buffer is written. SEE ALSO This plugin leverages the superior detection and customization facilities of the companion ShowTrailingWhitespace.vim plugin (vimscript #3966), though it can also be used without it if you're not interested in highlighting and customizing. To quickly locate the occurrences of trailing whitespace, you can use the companion JumpToTrailingWhitespace.vim plugin (vimscript #3968). RELATED WORKS The basic substitution commands as well as more elaborate scriptlets, as the idea of automating this can be found in this VimTip: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Remove_unwanted_spaces There are already a number of plugins that define such a command; most bundle this functionality together with the highlighting of trailing whitespace. However, most of them cannot consider whitespace exceptions and are not as flexible. - trailing-whitespace (vimscript #3201) defines :FixWhitespace. - bad-whitespace (vimscript #3735) defines :EraseBadWhitespace. - Trailer Trash (vimscript #3938) defines :Trim. - StripWhiteSpaces (vimscript #4016) defines :StripWhiteSpaces and strips automatically, too, but is way more simple than this plugin. - WhiteWash (vimscript #3920) provides functions that also can strip visible ^M and sequential whitespacw between words. USAGE :[range]DeleteTrailingWhitespace Delete all trailing whitespace in the current buffer or [range].
