Description
I insert two spaces at the end of sentences, as this makes sentence-wise navigation in Emacs easier, but also as a habit. Harper objects to this and complains:
> There are 2 spaces where there should be only one.
According to , I can disable the "Spaces" linter, but that would miss spacing in other places. Would it be possible to add a secondary rule or just tolerate french spacing in general?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the Spaces linter documentation and the discussion in this issue about a secondary rule versus tolerating French spacing generally. Trace where the Spaces rule is implemented and tested, then define completion as allowing sentence-ending double spaces without disabling checks for other spacing problems.
