About the Remove Extra Spaces
Clean up spacing left by copy and paste, old typing habits or exported data. Collapse runs of spaces into one, trim the start and end of every line, turn tabs into spaces and squeeze extra blank lines, with each step on its own switch. Non-breaking spaces, which look like spaces but are not, are treated as spaces too.
How to use it

Questions
Will it remove the line breaks too?
No. Line breaks are kept. To join lines, use Remove Line Breaks, or send the result there.
What is a non-breaking space?
A space character (U+00A0) that stops a line from wrapping. Word processors and web pages insert it, and it breaks searches and comparisons because it is not a normal space.
Does it change indentation in code?
Trim each line removes leading spaces, which removes indentation. Switch it off to keep indentation and only collapse spaces.
