EmEditor supportsEditorConfig which is a way to specify a consistent formatting style for a project. One might write the following in a.editorconfig to indicate that.txt files have LF line endings and indents are 4 spaces.

[*.txt]end_of_line = lfindent_size = 4

When you open a file in EmEditor and there is a.editorconfig file in the same folder or in a parent folder, EmEditor will use the settings specified on the.editorconfig file. EmEditor will show a notification to let you know that.editorconfig is overriding some settings.

You can turn off EditorConfig support inTools > Customize… > Edit page and turn offUse .editorconfig.
