Sublime-AutoSetSyntax

Package Control GitHub tag (latest SemVer) Project license GitHub stars Donate to this project using Paypal

This plugin automatically sets the syntax for your file if possible. The original thought comes from here.

Installation

This package is available on Package Control by the name of AutoSetSyntax.

Examples

Guess the Syntax After Stripping Unimportant File Extensions

try-strip-file-exts

  1. config_gitlab.yml.example -> config_gitlab.yml -> Ah! .yml should use the YAML syntax.
  2. See try_filename_remove_exts settings for details.

PHP Tag

php-tag

  1. Create a new tab.
  2. Type <?php.
  3. The syntax will be set to PHP automatically. (triggered by on_modified_async)

Colored Git Log

git-log

  1. Prerequisites: ANSIescape and SideBarGit.
  2. Set your colored git log command. I personally set git config --global alias.l "log --graph --date=short --color --pretty=format:'%C(yellow bold)%h%Creset%C(auto)%d%Creset - %s %C(green bold)[%an]%Creset %C(blue bold)(%ad, %cr)%Creset'".
  3. Add "ANSIescape/ANSI.tmLanguage": ["^\\s*\\[SideBarGit@.*\\] git \\b"] to syntax_mapping.
  4. Add source.diff to working_scope like "working_scope": "(?x)^(text.plain | source.diff)\\b".
  5. Execute your customized git log command. In this example, it is git l as set in the previous step.
  6. The output syntax will be set to ANSI which provides ANSI color rendering. (triggered by on_modified_async)

Commands

You may disable all event_listeners in your user settings and add a key binding to set syntax.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+s", "ctrl+alt+s"], "command": "auto_set_syntax" },

How It Works

When this plugin is loaded:

  1. Construct the syntax mappings.

    1. Read all syntax definition files.
    2. Try to find following informations.
- `first_line_match` in `.sublime-syntax`s and `firstLineMatch` in `.tmLanguage`s.
  - `file_extensions` in `.sublime-syntax`s and `fileTypes` in `.tmLanguage`s.

  1. Merge syntax_mapping with results from the previous step.

    1. If the scope is text.plain, try to remove some extensions from the file name basing on try_filename_remove_exts. A syntax may be assigned due to a stripped file name matches.

When an event is triggered:

  1. May check conditions like cursor counts, cursor position and etc…
  2. Make sure working_scope matches the scope of the first character.
  3. Call command auto_set_syntax.

When command auto_set_syntax is called:

  1. Match extensions with the file name.
  2. Match the first line with file content.
  3. If there is any luck, set the corresponding syntax for the user.

Debug

Debug messages are printed to your Sublime Text console (Ctrl+`), which looks like

AutoSetSyntax: [ERROR] regex compilation failed in user settings "working_scope": ^text.plain\b+
AutoSetSyntax: [WARNING] "event_listeners -> on_pre_save_async" is not set in user settings (assumed true)
AutoSetSyntax: [INFO] match syntax file "php-grammar/PHP." with "Packages/php-grammar/PHP.sublime-syntax"
