Command — Strip trailing spaces

Post by IanOfYork »

There is currently an option to strip training spaces when a file is saved.

Please add this as a menu command — perhaps in Edit, below Reformat — so that temporary text does not need to be saved to a file.

Search | Replace... (<F8>):
Find what: _+$ [Replace the underscore with a space]
Replace with: [nothing]
[X] Regular expression
Replace All
You can save this as a macro:
Replace = " +$", "", RegExp
DoReplaceAll

Sure, but the code is already part of TextPad and it would be good if it could be available as a menu command.

When you create a macro it automatically becomes available as a menu command. And you can give it whatever keyboard shortcut you please.
