Local variables for editors

Hello, I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I find these local variables in C, H and other files a bit strange and bloated: /* * Local variables: * tab-width: 4 * c-basic-offset: 4 * End: * vim600: noet sw=4 ts=4 fdm=marker * vim<600: noet sw=4 ts=4 */ Is there any chance to start omitting them and use a single .editorconfig file instead or is this something that is a must have in C projects of today? Thank you for some clarification on this :) -- Peter Kokot
