Frequently Asked Questions About Remove Prefix
What is the difference between per-line and entire-text mode?
Per-line mode removes the prefix from the start of each line individually. Entire-text mode removes the prefix only once from the very beginning of the whole text.
Is the matching case-sensitive?
By default the matching is case-insensitive, so "Hello" matches "hello", "HELLO", etc. Toggle the case-sensitive option for exact matching.
