Neat, I didn’t know about this, looks very similar to the .tm_properties system we have in 2.0.

The lineEnding property is a C enumeration:

    enum line_ending_t { kLF = 0, kCR, kCRLF };

So you should get back 0, 1, or 2 back. Normally 0 for kLF.

For 2.0 the internals are completely different, but it sounds like this should just be added to the current settings stuff (that already reads .tm_properties files per folder, where a line ending setting do exist).

If you haven’t heard yet, the source is now available¹, which should make it easier, should you wish to look into this.

Kind regards Allan
