[New-bugs-announce] [issue33046] IDLE option to strip trailing whitespace automatically on save

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com>:

Add option to IDLE preferences in the general section to automatically run Strip Trailing Whitespace before saving.

People who use Strip Trailing Whitespace generally do so just before saving and they do it over and over again as they develop and check in code.  It would be nice to have this done automatically.  In general, trailing whitespace is almost never desireable.
