Make sure to follow the steps in Michal's answer first. If you want to retroactively apply this editorconfig to your existing files, do the following:

I recommend committing all your files to Git, so you can reset to that commit if things did not go as planned.
Make sure you have a .editorconfig you are happy with.
In the 1:Project sidepane, right-click on the folder you want to apply the .editorconfig to (e.g., the root folder of your project)
Choose Reformat Code, which has the default shortcut Ctrl + Alt + L.
Select "Include subdirectories". None of the other options are required. Then click "Run".

Your files now follow your .editorconfig file configuration.

r/IntelliJIDEA on Reddit: Editorconfig on IntelliJ for Java projects

July 21, 2020 -

Hi,

I just got familiar with editorconfig and I am trying to make a good configuration file that I am going to use in multiple java projects.

I saw that IntelliJ has it's own properties and quite a big list, which is great, but I can't seem to find any explanation for all these properties.
Can someone point a documentation link or something that will help me with this.

Thanks

I have a javascript/apex project. I've created a editorconfig file but it only works for apex not for javascript. My config:

[*]
indent_style = tab

When I reformat the code javascript stays indented with spaces

Edit: After trying to do the same in vs code it works. So it looks like intellijs fault

Did you follow these steps from the help pages ? Configure the code style for a project using EditorConfig Before you start working with EditorConfig, make sure that the EditorConfig plugin is enabled. The plugin is bundled with IntelliJ IDEA and is activated by default. If the plugin is not activated, enable it on the Plugins page of the Settings / Preferences Dialog as described in Managing plugins. In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), go to Editor | Code Styleand make sure the Enable EditorConfig Support checkbox is selected. 2. In the project tree, right-click a directory where you want to create the EditorConfig settings file and select New | File. 3. In the dialog that opens, enter .editorconfig and click OK. 4. IntelliJ IDEA creates an EditorConfig settings file and displays a notification in the popup. Every time you open a file, the EditorConfig plugin looks for a file named .editorconfig in the directory of the opened file and in every parent directory. A search for .editorconfig files will stop if the root file path is reached or an EditorConfig file with root = true is found. Therefore, if you want to use the IDE settings instead of the EditorConfig settings, clear the Enable EditConfig Support checkbox in Editor | Code Stylethat is selected by default. Define the code style settings and save your .editorconfig (Ctrl+S) to immediately apply the settings to your project. The EditorConfig code style configuration overrides the code style configuration in the IntelliJ IDEA settings.

did now find the solution..

In IDEA it's controlled by “Settings → Editor → Code Style → Java → Wrapping and Braces tab → Field annotations” option.

In EditorConfig it should be controlled by “ij_java_field_annotation_wrap” option.

1) If you click on "Dismiss" nothing will happen -- supported settings from .editorconfig will be taken instead of the same settings in your Code Style 2) If you click on "Disable..." the support for .editorconfig settings will be disabled (can be re-enabled again at "Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | Code Style") and only your Code Style settings will matter https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/help/code-style.html#d536811e422
