EditorConfig Emacs Plugin

This is an EditorConfig plugin for Emacs.

Installation

Download the EditorConfig C Core and follow the instructions in the README and INSTALL files to install it.

Or, when no Core executable is found, this plugin uses Emacs Lisp implemented Core as a fallback.

In either case, copy .el files in this repository to ~/.emacs.d/lisp and add the following to your ~/.emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp")
(require 'editorconfig)
(editorconfig-mode 1)

Alternatively, you can find the package available on Marmalade and MELPA.

Supported properties

Current Emacs plugin coverage for EditorConfig's properties:

• indent_style
• indent_size
• tab_width
• end_of_line
• charset
• trim_trailing_whitespace
• insert_final_newline = true is supported
• insert_final_newline = false is not enforced (as in trailing newlines actually being removed automagically), we just buffer-locally override any preferences that would auto-add them to files .editorconfig marks as trailing-newline-free
• max_line_length
• root (only used by EditorConfig core)

Not yet covered properties marked with over-strike – pull requests implementing missing features warmly welcomed! Typically, you will want to tie these to native functionality, or the configuration of existing packages handling the feature.

As several packages have their own handling of, say, indention, we might not yet cover some mode you use, but we try to add the ones that show up on our radar. Similarly, we don't yet hook in to all different packages for whitespace trimming to inform them about editorconfig settings, but aim for better coverage of things like ws-trim.

Testing

Make and CMake must be installed to run the tests.

To run the tests:

$ make test
