EditorConfig Editor

A Visual Studio Code extension that provides a user-friendly, visual editor for .editorconfig files. Edit your EditorConfig settings with an intuitive interface instead of manually editing the file.

Features

• 🎨 Visual editor for .editorconfig files
• ✨ Intuitive interface for managing sections and properties
• 📝 Support for all standard EditorConfig properties
• ➕ Add custom properties easily
• 🗂️ Manage multiple file patterns in separate sections
• 🔄 Real-time preview of changes

Usage

1. Install the extension from the VS Code marketplace
2. Open any .editorconfig file in your workspace
3. The file will automatically open in the visual editor
4. Use the interface to:
   • Add new sections with file patterns
   • Add standard EditorConfig properties
   • Add custom properties
   • Edit values using dropdowns for predefined options
   • Delete properties or entire sections

Configuration Options

Because this doesn't work well in 'diff' views, I recommend having this as your workspace or user settings:

"workbench.editorAssociations": {
   "{git}:/**/*.{editorconfig}": "default",
   "*.editorconfig": "timheuer.econfigedit"
}

This will enable it to be default editor for times when not in git-diff modes.

Supported Properties

The editor supports all standard EditorConfig properties:

• indent_style (space, tab)
• indent_size (number)
• tab_width (number)
• end_of_line (lf, cr, crlf)
• charset (utf-8, utf-8-bom, utf-16be, utf-16le, latin1)
• trim_trailing_whitespace (true, false)
• insert_final_newline (true, false)
• max_line_length (number)

You can also add custom properties as needed.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code version 1.99.0 or higher
