Smartgit editor(s) should respect .editorconfig
I can't emphasise how many times per day I fight this issue: I change something in my editor, double-click in Smartgit to see the differences and I realise that tab settings is wrong. So I go to View -> Settings and adjust it. Yet again. Sure, I can save it as default but that works only until I switch to another repository.
How much easier my life would be if Smartgit read .editorconfig (https://editorconfig.org) from given repository!

Hi Miro,
Thank you for your feedback, I understand what you would like to achieve.
Can you tell me a bit about your environment?

Hi Daniel,
not sure what exactly do you have in mind. :-)
I use Linux + Kate as an editor (usually) for editing various open source projects. Very often a few at the same time (e.g. a project which requires SDL_mixer usually involves messing with the project, SDL and SDL_mixer at the same time) and as it goes, each of them has separate tab/space/indent conventions.
It's easy to switch between the projects (repositories) in SmartGit but when I bump into the issue mentioned - sometimes I need tabs + indent size 2, sometimes spaces + indent size 4 (although here it matters only if I want to edit something withing the diff editor of course) etc. Very frustrating.
When I discovered .editorconfig, all my issues went away, well, except when working with SmartGit. :-)
(don't get me wrong, I love it, I'm using it for more than 10+ years and paid for it for my commercial activities, too)
Thank you for the details!
