Bug ID: 468147
Summary: .editorconfig with trim_trailing_whitespace = true
should not apply globally for existing files
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ilmari.lauhakan...@libreoffice.org
Target Milestone: ---
If you have an .editorconfig file defining
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
Kate will also apply the rule for existing files, trimming all trailing
whitespace found in the file. This is not in line with how it is implemented
elsewhere:
https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/FAQ#my-files-are-not-automatically-reformatted-the-editorconfig-plugin-is-not-working
> Existing files are not reformatted by the plugin (only newly input lines are
> formatted in the format given in the .editorconfig files)
It's true that this is not defined as strictly in the property description, but
it seems like a sane way to behave.
