So I work in a PHP shop, and we all use different editors, and we all have to work on Windows. I use vim, and everyone in the shop keeps complaining that whenever I edit a file there is a newline at the bottom. I've searched around and found that this is a documented behavior of vi & vim... but I was wondering if there was some way to disable this feature. (It would be best if I could disable it for specific file extensions).
If anyone knows about this, that would be great!
And for vim 7.4+ you can use either of these (preferably on your .vimrc) (thanks to 罗泽轩 for that last bit of news!):
:set nofixeol
:set nofixendofline
Now regarding older versions of vim.
Even if the file was already saved with new lines at the end:
vim -b file
and once in vim:
:set noeol
:wq
done.
alternatively you can open files in vim with :e ++bin file
Yet another alternative:
:set binary
:set noeol
:wq
see more details at Why do I need vim in binary mode for 'noeol' to work?
