I'd like Sublime 2 editor to treat *.sbt files (to highlight syntax) as Scala language, same as *.scala, but I can't find where to set this up. Do you happen to know?
This question is related to
syntax-highlighting
sublimetext
In Sublime Text (confirmed in both v2.x and v3.x) there is a menu command:
View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as ...
There is a quick method to set the syntax:
Ctrl
+Shift
+P
,then type in the input box
ss + (which type you want set)
eg: ss html +Enter
and ss means "set syntax"
it is really quicker than check in the menu's checkbox.
I've found the answer (by further examining the Sublime 2 config files structure):
I was to open
~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Scala/Scala.tmLanguage
And edit it to add sbt
(the extension of files I want to be opened as Scala code files) to the array after the fileTypes
key:
<dict>
<key>bundleUUID</key>
<string>452017E8-0065-49EF-AB9D-7849B27D9367</string>
<key>fileTypes</key>
<array>
<string>scala</string>
<string>sbt</string>
<array>
...
PS: May there be a better way, something like a right place to put my customizations (insted of modifying packages themselves), I'd still like to know.
for ST3
$language = "language u wish"
if exists,
go to ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/$language.sublime-settings
else
create ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/$language.sublime-settings
and set
{ "extensions": [ "yourextension" ] }
This way allows you to enable syntax for composite extensions (e.g. sql.mustache, js.php, etc ... )
I put my customized changes in the User package:
*nix: ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/User/Scala.tmLanguage
*Windows: %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\Scala.tmLanguage
Which also means it's in JSON format:
{
"extensions":
[
"sbt"
]
}
This is the same place the
View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as ...
menu item adds it (creating the file if it doesn't exist).
There's an excellent plugin called ApplySyntax (previously DetectSyntax) that provides certain other niceties for file-syntax matching. allows regex expressions etc.
