Looks good :-) Just wondering why the default tab_width is set to 4 when the default indentation size is set to 2. Why not:
EditorConfig settings for maintaining consistent code style.
More information: https://EditorConfig.org
root = true
[*]
charset = utf-8
end_of_line = lf
indent_size = 2
indent_style = space
insert_final_newline = true
tab_width = 2
[*.java]
indent_size = 4
tab_size = 4

Good question. There are some files that require specific indentation for clarity and consistency, such as .jml and .json, if I recall correctly. |

Yes, that is what I needed to discuss since I am not sure if I get it right. :-) Would you not normally want to have the same tab width as indentation size for a certain file, so that yout can press Tab to get the indentation you want for that kind of file?

Sorry for misleading your question, now I think I understand 😊. It is by default set like that; tab_width is normally set by indent_size if it’s not explicitly set. I could delete tab_width and it will set it by default 2… But I was taking inspiration from haze project as recommended in the issue.

Ah, now I think I got it. Sorry, my mistake. Didn't think about the fact that tabs are not only used to get indentation, but also to get a space inside of a line :-) There 4 spaces probably makes sense regardless of document. :-)

Good start config.
Maybe in future we can also consider use of google config.
