Button to toggle auto-format on/off

[trusktr]

Sometimes (f.e. when trim_trailing_whitespace is turned on), I don't want the editor to modify the file on save. Most of the time I do, but sometimes I don't.

It'd be nice if editorconfig had a button like the prettier package does, to toggle auto-format on save on/off.

Here's what the prettier button looks like in the bottom status bar:

It'd be super awesome to have this with EditorConfig too

It'd be nice to do like Prettier by having the option in the plugin settings to both enable/disable the button and enable/disable auto-format.

This way, we can avoid changing the git-tracked .editorconfig inside of a project, and we get easier control of behavior.

IMHO, that's stepping outside the responsibilities of this package. EditorConfig isn't an auto-formatter in the sense that Prettier is; it's simply enforcing basic formatting settings at the behest of the project's author.

I can add a command for saving a file without normalisation, but I don't want to make it too easy for users to skip normalisation willy-nilly. There's a reason files are configured to trim whitespace, or trim trailing newlines, or what-have-you… 😉
