EditorConfig support for SlickEdit?
« on: March 13, 2013, 06:14:49 PM »
Anyone knows how to support EditorConfig, or make a macro, plugin etc for this?

Thanks,

Something like http://universalindent.sourceforge.net/ would be even better - as it does a lot more.
Being able to keep code style/formatting rules in sync with other tools (like Eclipse) would be great.


Of course, in an ideal world, I wouldn't care what the formatting was.
The editor would present the text in the form I like and perform the necessary transformations on load/save to make the code on disk conform to the local rules.

Thanks for the link. Interesting, but quite different and much bulkier than editorconfig.
I'm looking for simple, paragmatic way to store settings per project/source tree.
Tabs vs. spaces and line ends are top annoyance, other fancy stylings are less important.
Support by multiple editors is ideal.
Currently, it has plugins for Visual Studio, NPP, vi, gedit - but, sadly, I cannot find a ready plugin for SE and Eclipse.
