Description
### Description
When working on a bug fix, one might accidentally invoke reformatting either by global settings or the keyboard shortcut, which is engraved in my muscle memory.
This messes up the code.
### Use case/motivation
## Avoid extra work
My personal preferences may differ from the recommended (I like horizontal whitespace to improve readability),
so to avoid and extra work, I would like to use the project-specific settings.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the earlier pull request referenced in the issue and the existing NetBeans editor-settings behavior. Determine how project-specific recommended or default settings can be made available to committers without overriding personal preferences. Done means committers can use the project settings to avoid accidental reformatting.
