Add syntax highlighting for unknown file extensions #3279

Open ussuri opened 10 years ago

Possible ways:

Content sniffing
Language settable by the user

ussuri commented 9 years ago

Note: this is entirely possible technically-wise, as we already do statically. The only thing that needs to be done is the UI and the infrastructure (remembering custom language settings per file or per extension, a dialog to set the language...).

i am interest in this too! this i am missing: puppetlabs manifests (.pp => ruby style) windows scripting (ps1, vbs)

(or a feature to use a comment line to force syntax highlighting for a special language) eg: /* language: ruby */
