Hi all!
Could you please clarify - is it possible to remove all the whitespace
characters including newline from the current cursor position to the
next meaningful symbol using one command?
I mean if our buffer's content is as follows:
texttexttext{cursor}___
_
___text
where '_' means space character, is it possible to press some known
key sequence to transform the given above to the following form:
texttexttext{cursor}text
Thanks in advance!

Replace regular expression might work:
C-M-%
[_C-qC-j]+ Ret
Ret
where _ is space.
You also might me able to use
\s-
(whitespace syntax)
but I couldn't get it to work.

Seems to me regular expressions would be too much typing,
I'd go for:
M-z t t
But this seemed to work:
M-% [ space ^q ^j ] * ret ret y

Thank you, this works fine!
I didn't wrote the function because I thought this would be a
reinvention of some known feature I am not aware of.

There's also this
M-SPC runs the command just-one-space, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
It is bound to M-SPC.
(just-one-space &optional n)
Delete all spaces and tabs around point, leaving one space (or n spaces).
Of course it doesn't handle the \n+spaces case.
