Answer 2

Make sure to follow the steps in Michal's answer first. If you want to retroactively apply this editorconfig to your existing files, do the following:

• I recommend committing all your files to git so you you can reset to that commit if things did not go as planned.
• Make sure you have a .editorconfig you are happy with.
• In the 1:Project sidepane, right click on the folder you want to apply the .editorconfig to (eg the root folder of your project)
• Choose Reformat Code , which has the default shortcut ctrl alt L .
• Select "Include subdirectories". None of the other options are required. Then click "Run".

Your files now follow your .editorconfig file configuration.

Answer 3

If you added the file after project initialization.

You need to add the file .editorconfig on the root of the project.

Once happy with you file configuration right click and select synchronize '.editorconfig'
