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.
