Change file type using Commando

[Defman21]

Short Summary

In Sublime Text, you can change file type using their "Commando". I'd want to see similar feature in Komodo as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've wanted this too.

You could do something like

var cmds = require("ko/commands");
var supportedLangauges= [/*array of all languages*/];
for ( let lang of supportedLangauges)
{
    cmds.register("set_file_lang-"+lang,
           ko.views.manager.do_ViewAs(lang);
}

Anyone know a quick way to get the list of supported languages dynamically?

[Defman21]

You could look into the code of file type widget in status bar :)

@Defman21 Yes I certainly could.

Sounds like a new SDK ;)

var langService = Components.classes["@activestate.com/koLanguageRegistryService;1"]. getService(Components.interfaces.koILanguageRegistryService);
var langs = {};
var cmds = require("ko/commands");
langService.getLanguageNames(langs, {});

for (let lang of langs.value) {
    cmds.register("set_file_lang-"+lang,
           ko.views.manager.do_ViewAs(lang));
}

Something like that. Probably it won't work.
