Remove trailing spaces automatically or with a shortcut

Question

Is there a way to remove trailing spaces in Visual Studio Code (automatically or with a shortcut)?

I\'ve been looking for this in the command palette and in the edit

Answer 1

Not only can you change the Visual Studio Code settings to trim trailing whitespace automatically, but you can also do this from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P):

You can also use the keyboard shortcut:

• Windows, Linux: Ctrl+K, Ctrl+X
• Mac: ⌘ + k, ⌘ + x.

(I'm using Visual Studio Code 1.20.1.)
