Set default syntax via first line

#1

Hi,
any idea, how set in ST3 that for files with #!/usr/bin/speedy at first line should be used Perl syntax? (I don’t use file extensions).

Thanx.

You should be able to create your own package and take advantage of the ability to embed other syntaxes within your own.

This should work for you:

Speedy/speedy.sublime-syntax:

%YAML 1.2
---
name: Speedy
scope: source.speedy
first_line_match: ^\#!.*\b(speedy)\b


contexts:
  main:
    - include: scope:source.perl
