Summary

Hi, after updating to latest version helix 24.3 (2cadec0) and editing my daily note taking file, noticed that Helix modified it. Unfortunately the file is named "todo.txt" which matches to an autoformatter which targets "todo.txt".

This is a local file that I happen to use for note taking + todo list. I did not lost the data but the text is now "sorted" in such way that I lost the significance of notes.

I believe that this is bad user experience and we should not have this autoformater targeting "todo.txt".

Reproduction Steps

Edit a file with any content which is named todo.txt

hx todo.txt

Save

:w

The text should be sorted, which means that if you have text it'll be all over the place.

It's the intended behaviour of todo.tx though: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt/blob/master/README.md#complete-tasks-2-format-rules

@archseer I find this quite odd. If "todo.xt" is a thing, then should be opt-in by the user. If I want to sort my text, I can do it myself as Helix allows me to pipe to sort, I don't need an overqualified "todo.txt" plugin like behaviour meddling with my basic text files, which happens to match some opinionated obscure plugin.
