How to remove trailing spaces in Visual Studio Code

July 29, 2024 by Jesper Nielsen • 6 minutes to read

I really do not like trailing spaces. Trailing spaces are any extra spaces or tabs at the end of a line of code or text. They may seem harmless, but they can cause problems for developers, editors, and users - and they somehow burn my eyes :)

Trailing spaces can affect the efficiency of the code or file in several ways. First, they can increase the file size unnecessarily, which can slow down the loading and processing time. Second, they can interfere with the version control system, which tracks the changes made to the code or file. Trailing spaces can create false differences or conflicts, which can waste time and resources to resolve. Third, they can cause errors or bugs in some languages or tools, which can affect the functionality and performance of the code or file.

How to launch the Windows Settings app from Command line

November 19, 2021 by Jesper Nielsen • 2 minutes to read

The Windows Settings app is the entry point for everyday maintenance, configuration, and setup, and can be easily opened with Win + I keyboard shortcut, by clicking on the Settings icon in the Start Menu or Notification Center or by searching for it in the Windows Start Menu.

However, now, and then I need to ease the access to a particular Windows Settings page directly, and this can be easily achieved from either the Run dialog box, the Command Prompt, or using PowerShell. Access to a particular Windows Settings page is possible using URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier) which are unique references to identify specific pages in the Windows Settings app.
