Sublime Text 2: Trim trailing white space on demand

Question

I know that Sublime Text 2 can delete the trailing white space on files upon saving.

When working in a team and commiting a change to a file this tends to produce huge diffs which make peer code review more cumbersome. For that reason I prefer to only do the white space cleaning when I'm commiting huge changes to a file anyway and leave whitespace as it is for the minor changes.

I would like to know if there's any command for executing the trimming of the white space on demand on a file, other than "Activate trimming on save > Save file > Deactivate trimming".

Searching in the Documentation and on stackoverflow didn't show anything relevant, all the links seem to talk about the auto trimming on save.

Answer 1

I use these steps for a quick on-demand solution within Sublime Text:

1. Find > Replace...
2. Find What: [ \t]+\n
3. Replace With: \n
4. Replace All

You could also do this for a large set of files via

1. Find > Find in Files...
2. Find: [ \t]+\n
3. Where:
4. Replace: \n
5. Replace
