How to disable ^M line endings in VS Code?

VS Code has decided to start adding ^M characters to the end of any line I edit.
They're not visible in the editor but git diff picks them up.

Weird line endings.

It wasn't doing this before, so I'm guessing I accidentally bumped some keyboard shortcut.

Does anyone know how to turn this off and have it just use regular line endings?

That's caused by the different standards used in line endings (LineFeed or LF in Linux and CarriageReturn + LineFeed or CRLF in Windows).

You can set the encoding you want by either of the following ways:

  • Click the LF or CRLF button on the status bar (near the bottom right corner), then select LF or CRLF.

    enter image description here

  • Go to the command palette (SHIFT+CTRL+p) and type "end of line" (that's the mnemonic I use) until you find the command Change End of Line Sequence.

Go to Preferences and click on Settings. Than write LF in the search area. Next, click on "Files" under "Text Editor". You will see "Files: Eol". Eol means "End of line". In my case it was "auto", which means VSCode would use either LF or CRLF depending on the files.

The last step: change "auto" to "\n".

enter image description here

Note: this only applies to the new files.
