Good question. The docs do mention this but the information is scattered across the website. The key points are: > EditorConfig files are read top to bottom and the most recent rules found > take precedence. Properties from matching EditorConfig sections are applied > in the order they were read, so properties in closer files take precedence. > When opening a file, EditorConfig plugins look for a file named .editorconfig > in the directory of the opened file and in every parent directory. A search > for .editorconfig files will stop if the root filepath is reached or an > EditorConfig file with root=true is found. In other words, unless root=True is specified, the editor will keep looking for .editorconfig also in parent directories as well and composing the config from all files it found. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44854> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
