Remove trailing spaces automatically or with a shortcut

Question

Is there a way to remove trailing spaces in Visual Studio Code  automatically or with a shortcut    I ve been looking for this in the command palette and in the editor settings  but I cannot find what I am looking for

Not only can you change the Visual Studio Code settings to trim trailing whitespace automatically, but you can also do this from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P):

You can also use the keyboard shortcut:

Windows, Linux: Ctrl+K, Ctrl+X
Mac: ? + k, ? + x.

(I'm using Visual Studio Code 1.20.1.)
