Quick answer
Collapse runs of tabs and Unicode space characters to one ordinary space, then trim horizontal space at each line edge. Blank lines and original line-break types are preserved.

How to use it
Paste text and run the normalizer. Runs of spaces, tabs and Unicode spacing characters become one ordinary space; leading and trailing horizontal space is removed per line. Blank lines, the original LF/CRLF/CR separators and a final line break are preserved.
Limits
It also collapses repeated spacing between words, so use it for prose or copied text, not code, aligned columns or fixed-width data.
