Tips

View active config

The active config is printed in the Sublime console.

Trailing whitespace

Even though there is a trim_trailing_whitespace property. I would still recommend you set "draw_white_space": "all" and/or "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true in your Sublime preferences to prevent you from accidentally committing whitespace garbage whenever a project is missing a .editorconfig file.

Show changes

This plugin does its changes transparently in the background. I would recommend the excellent Modific plugin if you would like to see what changed.
