Hey Nestor & Chris, This might or might not be less convoluted than Chris’s suggestion:
1. Take a script like Chris’s that deletes end of line whitespace, and attach it to the Save menu command (see manual for how to attach). 2. In BBEdit prefs, un-check Text Files -> Strip Trailing whitespace. 3. Write a short Applescript that tells BBEdit to save the file. Assign a keyboard command to that script. I’d suggest a key combo similar to what you have for Save (default Command-S). Now when you save normally, the attached script deletes eol white space, and using your alternative key combo, saving doesn’t invoke the script, so your white space is preserved. - Bruce _bruce__van_allen__santa_cruz_ca > On Aug 1, 2019, at 8:57 AM, Christopher Stone <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> On 08/01/2019, at 07:00, Nestor Aguilera <[email protected]> wrote: >> … after applying the filter you sent me it seems that (a) the file is not >> saved, and (b) the trailing spaces **are** trimmed, which is exactly the >> opposite of what I want (save the file with whatever white trailing space it >> has). >> >> What am I doing wrong? > > > Hey Nestor, > > Whups.
