What was wrong with continuing the previous pointless whitespace thread! Why start a new pointless whitespace thread when a perfectly good one already existed! Any responses should please be made to the "[PATCH] tiny whitespace" thread. Allan. (ARRae)

I have just upgraded to emacs 20.7 and these are the only commands apropos "whitespace": delete-whitespace-rectangle M-x delete-whitespace-rectangle RET Command: Delete all whitespace following a specified column in each line. fixup-whitespace M-x fixup-whitespace RET Command: Fixup white space between objects around point. isearch-whitespace-chars M-x isearch-whitespace-chars RET Command: Match all whitespace chars, if in regexp mode. Could someone dig out the little bit of lisp for delete-trailing-whitespace and tell me which file to put it in. Regards, Angus

It's just a shame that emacs can't do sensible indentation/alignment which respects varying tab size. Repeat after me: Tabs for Indentation, Spaces for Alignment! :-( Jules

Surely deleteing superflous spaces is just a matter of M-x delete-trailing-whitespace, which you learn about under the Display, Trailing whitespace. It operates in the whoole buffer so hit C-x n n (narrow to region) if you want to restrict it to an area of a buffer, and C-x n w (widen) when you want to see the rest of the buffer again. This is not cc-mode specific. You could also get the same effect with a regex-replace. Incidently the indent-region menu item and command can be reach via C-M-\ (which is bound to indent-region). I think it operates in most major modes where such an operation makes sense. You can also convert spaces to tabs and spaces in the region with M-x tabify and revert to just spaces with M-x untabify, neither of which can cc mode specific. A feature you might not be aware of is using M-q is for formatting multiple line comments. I guess a lot of people have also discovered VC mode too. Given all the above it is any suprise I am hopelessly addicted to emacs for all major editing :-) -- Duncan (-: "software industry, the: unique industry where selling substandard goods is legal and you can charge extra for fixing the problems."
