Today, I found that this plugin breaks patch files.

Thank you for this, this is much better!

On another topic, I have been considering some configuration options lately. The first one in mind is allowing the user to define an amount of spaces to leave at the end of a line on a per-filetype basis. For example, a user may choose to leave two spaces at the end of a line if the spaces exist but remove all the rest down to two spaces (if there are five spaces, they are reduced down to two). What do you think?

I think it would make sense for markdown 👍, maybe there are more formats that would benefit from this, but I don't know which. Not for diff I think, because it would corrupt a patch which means to patch a file with trailing spaces.

Of course, I think my question was off-topic for the diff filetype but I wanted to get your opinion while we were already speaking. I may include both diff and markdown as default ignored filetypes.
