Change file type syntax

#1

Hi all,

It would be great to be able to change the syntax for a file extension. The only GDScript syntax package doesn’t appear to be updated for Godot 4, but changing .gd to python would get me part-way there.

Thanks!

You can permanently set the syntax for a specific extension by going to View > Syntax > Open all with current extension as… and selecting the syntax you want for the current file’s extension.

Are we talking about Sublime Merge here?

Thanks for the reply! Unless I’m mistaken this seems to be for Sublime Text, however I’m trying to solve this in Sublime Merge. I found this post, which shows how to use Sublime Text packages in Sublime Merge. But like I said, the GDScript syntax package is unfortunately out of date.

Sublime Merge treats settings files very much like Sublime Text.

The proposed Sublime Text command to re-assign file extensions creates a syntax specific settings file Packages/User/.sublime-settings.

You could create such a file (Python.sublime-settings) manually in SM’s User package.

{
    "extensions": ["gd"]
}

Not very ergonomic, but it should work.

Thanks, this works! (Unfortunately it also correctly displays syntax errors, which means I’m back to square one because GDScript’s syntax isn’t 1:1 with python, hehe.)
