Add operation Trim Trailing TAB

[GOLEM777]

In NP++ there is a function Blank Operations --> Trim Trailing Space.
Can anyone add a similar function, but only for TABs? Trim Trailing TAB

How about recording a regular expression "replace all" macro for it?:

find: \t+$
replace: nothing

Save the macro with name "Trim Trailing TAB"

---

The more general case would be to "Trim Trailing Whitespace":

find: \h+$
replace: nothing

Thx!
I think we still need to rename the existing option on
Trim Trailing Space/TAB
and
Trim Starting Space/TAB

I think I agree.
I never noticed that they remove tab characters as well as space characters.
The menu text definitely leads one to believe that only spaces will be affected.

Also, the terms "Blank" and "Whitespace" are used at different places (in the English UI text), when they mean the same thing:

• Edit > Blank Operations

• View > Show Symbol > Show White Space and TAB

I'm going to reopen this issue so that we can consider these things...

If so, then you can combine Blank Operations with Indent option.
Increase Line Indent = Add one TAB only before text.
Decrease Line Indent = Remove ...

I think Indent is different enough from Blank Operations to be okay as a separate area on the Edit menu.
Of course, opinions may vary...
