This is pretty cool. I like the concept of being able to nail down stylistic stuff in a declarative config, in project. Big advocate of it. Especially in open source or on team projects where we want consistency and a programmer may need to do quick touchups. This allows them to open their edit up and hit the ground running without getting indentation mixed up.

There is a popular tool around that handles general style settings across editors and projects.

What makes this different from something like EditorConfig? Anything sublime-specific that your tool provides?

Thank you very much for your feedback!

I absolutely agree with you! This is one of the main reasons why I created SuperSettings.

I am aware of EditorConfig and I think the greatest strength of it is the ability to configure different editors with one cross-editor configuration file. However, it's greatest strength is also a weakness since it handles, like you correctly said, only general style settings. For example, an important thing for me was the ability to configure the rulers in Sublime Text, which EditorConfig can't do. SuperSettings allows you to configure any Sublime Text setting, so you can, for example, have different color themes for different folders.

Doesn't Sublime Text already support this on a per-project basis, i.e. the "settings"-section in ´.sublime-project´ files?
