A common task i perform on files is converting between dos/unix line endings, converting tabs to spaces (intelligently keeping indentation) and vice-versa.

It would be great if the following options were present in the menus.

"File/Convert.../Line Endings/DOS -> UNIX"
"File/Convert.../Line Endings/UNIX -> DOS"
"File/Convert.../Line Endings/Discard trailing spaces"
"File/Convert.../Line Endings/Discard blank lines at end of file"
"File/Convert.../Tabs/Tabs to Spaces"
"File/Convert.../Tabs/Spaces to Tabs"

I'd position the "Convert..." item close to the "Import" and "Export" items.

I found "Discard trailing spaces" under "Edit/Format/Trim trailing spaces"

The use of the word "Trim" in the menu and "Discard" in the preferences should be syncronised if possible.

I also find the tabs/spaces conversion in the same place. Just need DOS<->UNIX and Discard blank lines at end of file.

Hi,

All those commands are available in Twistpad, except ("Line Endings/Discard blank lines at end of file"), They are just placed in another menus or options.

"File/Convert.../Line Endings/DOS -> UNIX"
File/Line Break Format/Unix
"File/Convert.../Line Endings/UNIX -> DOS"
File/Line Break Format/DOS
"File/Convert.../Line Endings/Discard trailing spaces"
This is a persistent option
"File/Convert.../Line Endings/Discard blank lines at end of file"
Not implemented in Twistpad
"File/Convert.../Tabs/Tabs to Spaces"
Edit/Format/Tabs to Spaces
"File/Convert.../Tabs/Spaces to Tabs"
Edit/Format/Spaces to Tabs

I think it's just a "get used to" issue, as the same with default shortcuts, I cannot change this small, out of the box things for each people.



Actually they are different commands; the discard option is a persistent option on which trailing spaces are deleted as the user edits the file.

For people who don't like this, or just want to apply to a trim randomly to a file or selection, the Trim trailing spaces is what they need.
