Description
It would be great if the editor/IDE supported reading EditorConfig files (see https://editorconfig.org/).
I don't think I need to introduce it, since it *is* being used in arduino itself ;), but overall EditorConfig state some basic editor parameters such as indentation width, tabs vs spaces and tab width.
It would be great if the IDE supported reading these files and setting whatever it is currently feasible to support. It would make the life of maintainers accepting patches created with the IDE much easier.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Arduino IDE's editor settings and reviewing the EditorConfig specification linked in the issue. Determine which parameters are currently feasible to support; the work is done when the IDE reads EditorConfig files and applies the supported settings.
