How do I deactivate rules? I get a lot of false positives and therefore want to exlude some rules. I created a file named .editorconfig in the top level of my project with the contents

# Don't autoformat this file, IntelliJ adds forbidden spaces
root=true

[*.{kt,kts}]
disabled_rules=indent,max-line-length
insert_final_newline=true

But indent and max line length is still checked.

Are you using it via CLI or some build system plugin?

I am using the ktlint gradle plugin
https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle

Ah I found a setting I can use with that plugin: disabledRules.set(setOf("final-newline"))

but still, I wonder why the editorconfig file isnt applied. Is it only relevant for the cli tool?
