VS Code has decided to start adding ^M
characters to the end of any
line I edit.
They're not visible in the editor but git diff
picks them up.
It wasn't doing this before, so I'm guessing I accidentally bumped some keyboard shortcut.
Does anyone know how to turn this off and have it just use regular line endings?
The Quick Fix for “End of line character is invalid” At the bottom right of the screen in VS Code, click the little button that says LF or CRLF . After changing it to your preference, Voila, the file you're editing now has the correct line breaks.
At the bottom right of the screen in VS Code there is a little button that says “LF” or “CRLF”: Click that button and change it to your preference.
Open up your VSCode keybindings. You'll notice that my keybinding is CMD + L. You can choose whatever you want, as long as it's not already taken. Save your file, and now you should be able to toggle line numbers on/off with whatever keybinding you added in your keybindings file.
VSCode try to guess the default line ending --> show CRLF / LF. The default is only used when typing ENTER key; there is no other alteration of the file; VSCode can display the true line endings character (realy this should be core feature, not an extension!), and show up with Toggle Controle Character (because they are, really)
Another way to set the default end of line value in Visual Studio Code: 1 Navigate to the Visual Studio Code settings tab (e.g., by Ctrl + , (comma)) 2 Search for end of line in the search bar. 3 Set the desired value in the Files: Eol dropdown menu Screenshot: Share edited May 26 at 14:20 Peter Mortensen.

At the bottom right of the screen in VS Code, click the little button that says LF or CRLF. After changing it to your preference, Voila, the file you’re editing now has the correct line breaks. The pace of Boot.dev's JavaScript, Python and Go courses has been perfect for me.
That's caused by the different standards used in line endings ("LineFeed" in linux and "CarriageReturn + LineFeed" in Windows).
You can set the encoding you want either by using the command palette (shift+crtl+p) and typing "end of line" (that's the mnemonic I use) until you find the command Change End of Line Sequence or by clicking the LF or CRLF button on the staus bar (near the bottom right corner).
You can then select LF or CRLF.
Go to Preferences and click on Settings. Than write LF in the search area. Next, click on "Files" under "Text Editor". You will see "Files: Eol". Eol means "End of line". In my case it was "auto", which means VSCode would use either LF or CRLF depending on the files.
The last step: change "auto" to "\n".
Note: this only applies to the new files.
