(🎁) Ability to specify default files in the config

[KotlinIsland]

I want to be able to specify the default files within the configuration file so that I don't need to duplicate this config in different places.

[tool.ruff]
files = ["src", "scripts"]

Then it is possible to invoke ruff without passing any paths:

👉 ruff
yada yada yada

I think this is pretty reasonable, Black supports this too and it's useful. @MichaReiser - any thoughts here?

@charliermarsh How do you do it in Black? I can't find it anywhere...

I was mixed up -- Black doesn't support this, but Mypy does.

[Edit]
I think what I wanted is already possible, I just did't get it when I read it the first time, see the docs
For Windows, the $(config_dir) is equivalent to: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming
So putting a a pyproject.toml into %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\ruff should set a global default and I confirm it works on my PC.

---

Do I understand the described use case correctly, that it should be possible to declare a pyproject.toml file as the global default, which overrides the built-in ruff default settings (but does not override project-specific pyproject.toml files)?

In that case, I agree very much that this feature is very helpful, even needed.

PS: Thanks for your development efforts, ruff is great!
