Features

Usage:

  1. Select the block of text where you want the replace to occur.
  2. Ctrl + P to access the command palette.
  3. Type >Remove Control Characters to run the replace function.

A notification will displayed with the replace result.

This extension is pretty simple. It runs a regular expression [^\x00-\x7f] over the selected text and removes all instances found.
