no-evil-eol-newline

Hide the last 'new line', just like vim does.

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 show how well you did by appending \n to each file you write, and indicating your fidelity of that.

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 bright color, indicating you should append a \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:

• Compatible with whitespace, editorconfig, and other packages.
• Works consistently on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Contributing

Feel free to write another package from scratch and replace this patch because this is so poorly-written that really needs rewriting.
