description

This plugin provides a user command with the author's approach to stripping trailing whitespace from an entire buffer, including removing empty or whitespace-only lines at the end of the buffer, without making command noise and without moving the cursor from its current position. This is a very commonly written and implemented plugin, but I wrote my own because I could not find a plugin that did this in exactly the way I wanted: - Accept an optional range - Strip trailing lines as well as trailing spaces - Report what was changed, accurately - Work with even very old Vim (>=6.0) - Work with a single undo - Don't move the cursor - Don't change the search pattern - Don't define an autocmd - Don't force a key mapping - Don't define a global function https://sanctum.geek.nz/cgit/vim-strip-trailing-whitespace.git
