Hi,

It's been bugging me for a while: "Shift Right" will leave all lines consisting only of whitespace completely blank, even removing existing whitespace.

This hasn't been my experience. I just tried it right now, and whitespace lines stay in place as they are, nothing removed from them. (Though I do find it surprising that shifting left does remove some whitespace from those lines, I would have expected the shift left-shift right behavior to agree.)

That really bugged me, so I tried to write my own "Shift Right" command to replace the built-in one. But it seems that the lines my code gets are already stripped of 'trailing whitespace'.

Is this a TextMate command? I just created a command with input selection and output insert as text, and with text the following, and it read the whitespace just fine.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'pp' pp(STDIN.read)

Any idea how I can tell TM to leave my whitespace alone?

Thanks

Gerd
