A Vim plugin that highlights trailing whitespace characters in buffers and provides a :StripWhitespace command to remove them. It supports highlighting on save, per-buffer toggles, and customizable highlight colors.
Use cases
- highlight trailing whitespace in vim
- strip trailing whitespace on save
- clean up trailing spaces in files
- customize whitespace highlight color in vim
- toggle whitespace highlighting per buffer
When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want automatic trailing-whitespace visibility and cleanup
- you want whitespace stripped on save with file-type blacklists
- you need per-buffer control over whitespace highlighting
When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim
- you need general linting or formatting beyond whitespace handling
