Subject: [RFC] mceditor: add .editorconfig support

Hello,

 

There’s old ticket https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3367 for https://editorconfig.org/ support.

With spreading of editorconfig support (vs, plugins for clion, notepad++, and so on, just see the list on the site) and different-styled sourced (c/c++/py/js/yaml/etc) it becomes quite common and useful.

Unlike https://midnight-commander.org/attachment/ticket/3068/ (Vim's modeline support), editorconfig needs no file data, just file path which is obviously instantly available.

 

I’ve made quick initial support as PoC, please refer https://github.com/themiron/mc/commit/2d63096c16d868e0e0fe6cfa7ca5fcebe25c0a99

May I ask you for some guidelines / suggestions / comments for further better integration required before it possibly can appear in mc upstream (as my main goal)?

 

p.s tried to reach via old mc-dev@ jabber conf, but seems there’s nobody left since last time I were chatting in it with you.

 

Best Regards, Vladislav Grishenko
