.editorconfig files want to be a unified config standard, per folder, for editor configuration settings like indentation type, charset, etc. Since Kate already supports some of these configs in a similar way - trough .kateconfig files, it would be great if it could also parse .editorconfig files, and be compatible with other editors as well. http://editorconfig.org/

yes, this would be amazing. this would have to interact with kate’s own .kateproject files. at least PyCharm lets .editorconfig override its own settings and displays an info message, maybe we should follow suit: I also think .kateproject isn’t very discoverable, and the message should be specific and mention both filenames or even paths, like so: > Settings in ~/dev/myproj/.kateproject have been overridden by ~/dev/myproj/src/.editorconfig: indent-width, enforce-trailing-newlines. > > Consider consolidating the settings in the .editorconfig
