Feature request: Add a setting to open all files as plain text by default

#1

Hello.

I work on a large project: 5 million lines of Kotlin code (not counting Groovy, XML, JSON, and so on) and 2000 modules. The project continues to grow exponentially. But I do not use an IDE, LSP, Tree-sitter (or any other syntax highlighting option), because in my view all of it is noise that distracts from the essence. A good editor, a compiler, documentation, and a pen with a notebook are all you need to do real things.

Therefore, I would like to ask for the ability to open all files as plain text. Constantly using “Open all with current extension as…” gets tedious, and it would be great to be able to set this once in the settings.

P.S.

Today it is very difficult to find a high-quality, thoughtful, and simple editor that does not use Chrome, JS, JVM, or similar technologies under the hood. It is even harder to find an editor that does not have LSP, Tree-sitter, AI, and other so-called “smart” features bolted to it.

Thank you for your work. Please keep making this world a little simpler and a little better.

All the best.

You might want to consider one of these packages.

If all of your files are loaded into the same project then the last option is probably the best/safest to stop this bleeding into other projects.
