How can I remove the extra spaces from the line? So that I end up with

Exactly like fill-paragraph, but I do not want to "fill" the paragraph,
only the current line. Is there an Emacs function to do this?

Not that I know of, but it'd be very easy to create one with a macro,
or Emacs Lisp.

Just narrow to the line, then fill paragraph.

There is a fill-region-as-paragraph command. check it out. The key sequence

would be to go to the beginning of the line, mark, go to the end of the line, then

fill-region-as-paragraph.

Also, its quicker for you to type ^h a fill (apropos fill) and scan the results.
