Perhaps we should add `max_line_length = 80`?

"Supported By A Limited Number of Editors"

But even if it were supported widely, I don't really see how hard wrapping would
be useful.

Ah you're right, never mind.

According to
https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/Property-research:-maximum-...
the behavior of this is inconsistent anyway. In Sublime Text and Vim this is
merely adding an indicator (which is also why I'm using it) whereas in Emacs it
wraps the lines automatically.

Having an indicator is still quite useful though.

+indent_style = space
+indent_size = 2
+end_of_line = lf
+charset = utf-8
+trim_trailing_whitespace = true

For me personally, this one is quite inconvenient because I save my files quite
often while editing. Therefore it would cause my cursor to jump to the beginning
of the line if I had this setting enabled.

I assume that I'm probably the only one with that issue and that the config can
still be overridden but just wanted to note it.

I guess that's why Atom isn't trimming whitespace on the current line - for
people like you ;)

+insert_final_newline = true

+indent_size = 4
