Fixing Sublime Text 2 line endings?
to chnage line endings from LF to CRLF:
open Sublime and follow the steps:-
1 press Ctrl+shift+p then install package name line unify endings
then again press Ctrl+shift+p
2 in the blank input box type "Line unify ending "
3 Hit enter twice
Sublime may freeze for sometimes and as a result will change the line endings from LF to CRLF
The simplest way to modify all files of a project at once (batch) is through Line Endings Unify package:
- Ctrl+Shift+P type inst + choose Install Package.
- Type line end + choose Line Endings Unify.
- Once installed, Ctrl+Shift+P + type end + choose Line Endings Unify.
OR (instead of 3.) copy:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+l"], "command": "line_endings_unify" },
to the User array (right pane, after the opening
[
) in Preferences -> KeyBindings + press Ctrl+Alt+L.
As mentioned in another answer:
The Carriage Return (CR) character (
0x0D
,\r
) [...] Early Macintosh operating systems (OS-9 and earlier).The Line Feed (LF) character (
0x0A
,\n
) [...] UNIX based systems (Linux, Mac OSX)The End of Line (EOL) sequence (
0x0D 0x0A
,\r\n
) [...] (non-Unix: Windows, Symbian OS).
If you have node_modules, build or other auto-generated folders, delete them before running the package.
When you run the package:
- you are asked at the bottom to choose which file extensions to search through a comma separated list (type the only ones you need to speed up the replacements, e.g.
js,jsx
). - then you are asked which Input line ending to use, e.g. if you need LF type
\n
. - press ENTER and wait until you see an alert window with LineEndingsUnify Complete.
The comment states
// Determines what character(s) are used to terminate each line in new files.
// Valid values are 'system' (whatever the OS uses), 'windows' (CRLF) and
// 'unix' (LF only).
You are setting
"default_line_ending": "LF",
You should set
"default_line_ending": "unix",
The EditorConfig project (Github link) is another very viable solution. Similar to sftp-config.json and .sublime-project/workspace sort of file, once you set up a .editorconfig file, either in project folder or in a parent folder, every time you save a file within that directory structure the plugin will automatically apply the settings in the dot file and automate a few different things for you. Some of which are saving Unix-style line endings, adding end-of-file newline, removing whitespace, and adjusting your indent tab/space settings.
QUICK EXAMPLE
Install the EditorConfig plugin in Sublime using Package Control; then place a file named .editorconfig
in a parent directory (even your home or the root if you like), with the following content:
[*]
end_of_line = lf
That's it. This setting will automatically apply Unix-style line endings whenever you save a file within that directory structure. You can do more cool stuff, ex. trim unwanted trailing white-spaces or add a trailing newline at the end of each file. For more detail, refer to the example file at https://github.com/sindresorhus/editorconfig-sublime, that is:
# editorconfig.org
root = true
[*]
indent_style = tab
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false
The root = true
line means that EditorConfig won't look for other .editorconfig
files in the upper levels of the directory structure.
