This is an [Atom](https://atom.io) package that displays the current line ending type of a file: `CRLF` (Windows), `LF` (Unix), or `Mixed` (both). It also lets you change the line ending of a file.

## To Use

When the package is activated it will show the current line ending of the file in the right side of the status-bar. If a new file is created the line ending will start with the system default: `CRLF` for Windows, `LF` for Mac and Linux, and `CR` for old-style Mac files. If a file contains multiple line-ending types it will display `Mixed`.

### Changing a File's Line Ending

You can click the line ending in the status-bar to open a modal with the line ending options. Selecting a different line ending will change each line of the file in the active editor.

**Line Endings**

- `LF` is "\n"
- `CRLF` is "\r\n"

**Note:** Because the `CR` line ending style is not used in any modern operating system, this package only supports converting *from* `CR` line endings not to it.
