Commit 5b654ce9 added the following example binding to the sample nanorc:

## For snipping trailing blanks when you save a file:
bind ^S "{execute}| sed 's/\s\+$//' {enter}{savefile}" main

Any solution that anyone might make will not be merged -- that is my decision, as maintainer.  The user can easily implement the desired feature themselves in their .nanorc file.

This is an open source project. How dare you mark a wish as wont fix that anyone could fulfill at any time?

And other solutions have nothing to do with nano.

You can make this yourself:

bind ^S "{execute}| sed 's/\s\+$//'{enter}{savefile}" main

Blanks at the end of a line are of no usage in most cases, with the exception of tables. Theoretically they waste space, and they do in practice waste space if the text does not fit into the last sector because of the blanks.

And if the data gets transmitted or zipped they increase the size of data.

There should be a feature in nano that, when activated automatically removes blanks from line endings.
