Are editorconfig files intended to be created by hand or does BBEdit have features to maintain them?

I bought BBEdit this week, and I'm delighted. I haven't had anything this nice since VEDIT back in the old DOS days. That's not sarcasm. Anything in VEDIT's league (it's Windows-only) is very powerful.

My life is centered around Linux and Python. I plan to use BBEdit for coding, but my primary use will be for creative writing.

All those foibles and limitations in pretty word processors - faugh! A pox on them.

Click and shift-click in the list of files in a project, copy full file path, paste into a "manifest" document, and a quick text factory replaces ^(.*)$ with <<[&]. Drag that to Marked2 and I've got a docx for import into Affinity Publisher, or Nisus, or Mellel - pretty much anywhere but Word.

I don't do Word.

So, are editorconfig files hand-maintained?

It’s manual.

There is builtin support for EditorConfig file type, which comes with a set of completions for the keys.

Be sure to check out the entry in the manual as it goes over the BBEdit specific keys.
