Precondition

This package is meant for:

• Vim enthusiastics - mostly previous vim users;
• Unix fundamentalists - who think \n marks the termination of one single line, instead of acting as the separator between two lines.

You SHOULD NOT use this package if you think:

• (Either) \n at the end of a file is totally heresy;
• (Or) a new line MUST be displayed magnificently to indicate your fidelity of appending \n to each file you write.

Introduction

Suppress display of end-of-file newlines as blank lines. A temporal fix for Atom issue 7787. More precisely,

• If a file ends with a \n, then the line number of the 'new line' is hidden (by css), just like what vim does.
• If a file doesn't end with a \n, then the line number is shown in a bright color, indicating a missing \n.
• Files that use \r\n as EOL simply work perfectly.

Attention: This package only deals with how things appear: it never modify any bit of your file content. Thus, this package:

• Is compatible with whitespace, editorconfig, vim-mode-plus, and other packages.
• Works consistently on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
