# Trim

Open the trim dialog when you need to quickly trim leading and trailing whitespace or other characters from all the items in the list. The dialog is available from the Actions-Trim (Ctrl+Shift+T) menu:

Trim what
  The characters to trim from the item. Each character is trimmed individually from the item until a non-matching character is encountered. Position of characters within the text field is not important.
Trim additional whitespace also
  If checked, all characters below ASCII #33 are trimmed in addition to the ones in Trim what (i.e. spaces, tabs etc). If this option is checked, Trim what can be empty.
Trim where
  Specify if you want to perform the trim in the Original or Translation string or in Both.
Trim how
  Specify if you want to trim Leading or Trailing characters or from Both sides.

Click OK to perform the trimming. Note that the trimming is performed on all items in the list. Click Cancel to close the dialog without trimming.
