Is it possible to remove trailing whitespace automatically on save in IntelliJ IDEA? I know there are some workarounds, for example, using git to trim the whitespace on commit. Maybe this question is a duplicate of this one, but i hope this can be done without setting up keyboard shortcuts and macros.

In 2020.1 IntelliJ version:

File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> then scroll down to 'Save Files'

Strip trailing spaces on Save option

Go to ==> PREFERENCES | GENERAL | OTHER |

Just as shown in the picture:

  1. Srip trailings spaces on Save: ALL
  2. Uncheck Allways keep....

It'll remove trailing spaces when save, not before

Workspace

  1. Find .editorconfig
  2. Set "trim_trailing_whitespace" setting.

indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = false
