Hi, I wondered why "Skip clean whitespace for file types" does not work: If I edit a makefile named "Makefile" the tabs are still translated to spaces on save.
There seems to be some unclear requirements here: the label of the checkbox is "Skip clean whitespace for file types" but the implementation names this checkbox "skipTrailingWhitespace" and this is really the implemented functionality. I would like to fix that. Renaming the label to "Skip removing trailing whitespaces for file types" doesn't make much sense to me. I would prefer renaming the checkbox to "skipCleanupWhitespaceForFileTypes" and implement it that way. I could also add another checkbox "skipTrailingWhitespace" with that label but no text edit box for specific file types. On the long term, most of the TextEditor settings should be mappable to user selectable file types.
