How to stop vim from adding a newline at end of file?
newline, settings, vim
Solution
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?
Problem
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!
