SUMMARY I am trying to configure Kate to follow the indentation style of a git repository which does not use my usual indentation style. So I put a .kateconfig file in the parent directory, which uses the kate-wildcard(subdir/*) rule. This does not work. My current workaround is to use .git/info/exclude to allow .kateconfig in the git repository itself. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add this to a .kateconfig file, assuming replace-tabs is on by default: > kate-wildcard(subdir/*): replace-tabs off; 2. Open a file from the current directory. 3. Open a file from the subdir directory. OBSERVED RESULT Both files use replace-tabs on. (In Kate status bar displayed as soft tabs.) EXPECTED RESULT The file in subdir directory uses replace-tabs off. (In Kate status bar displayed as Indent/Tab) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.24 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3
The code for this is in void KTextEditor::DocumentPrivate::readVariableLine(const QString &t, bool onlyViewAndRenderer) I would assume if one does a quick scan if a / is inside a wildcard and then does match on the path and not filename would be good enough? Would you be willing to provide some merge request for this addition?
I'd like to have this as well, especially if it'd also work for the "File extensions" part of a filetype (in the "Modes & Filetypes" settings), which I assume uses the same underlying code. My use case would be, via either way, to add the `.git/config` file to the "INI Files" filetype to get some highlighting on it by default.
