I know that. That's what I tried to accomplish: set a .kateconfig for the
root of my project with the indentation settings that I wanted. But it
turned out that the general indentation settings for C++ override any local
.kateconfig that I may have :/
Maybe the best idea would be that in the .kateconfig file we could set
different settings per language and that these settings effectively
override the global settings for each language ? This was my first idea but
I wanted to check if there was an existing solution to this. Another take
on this would be that Kate's project plugin and KDevelop handled this
gracefully for each project, even though I'm not sure how this would work
out :P

Can you live with Kate mode lines in your files? You do have to do it for every file \
that the .kateconfig file (or your Kate settings) does not apply to (and they might \
be annoying to other people). If your .kateconfig is the general case (like all C++ \
files), then maybe you only have a few files to add mode lines to? That is generally \
how I handle it. But it is two-fold: have a good default Kate configuration (your \
preferences), and decide on mode lines or .kateconfig for special cases (project \
specific). One project I have dictates tabs (which I hate; applies to almost all \
files), so I use a .kateconfig file for that which even keeps them \
hidden.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Nope, adding the mode line in my files is \

I know in some files it is not possible to have to a comment for a mode line \
(package.json comes to mind), so for those you have to rely on Kate memorising the \
settings you placed on that specific file path which is at \
~/.kde4/share/apps/kate/metainfos for me.<br> <br>
