Sublime - File Extension - Settings (.sh Unix Line Endings)

Is there a way to force Sublime to use a setting ONLY for a given file extension. In my specific case, I'd like to use Unix line endings on the .sh file extension.

Solution

  • Yes, there is, but the settings are by syntax, not file extension. First, open a .sh file, and the syntax should automatically be set to Shell Script (Bash). Next, click on Preferences -> Settings-More -> Syntax Specific-User and something like the following should appear:

    {
    "extensions":
    [
        "bash",
        "zsh",
        "sh",
        "profile"
    ]
}

    Change it to the following:

    {
    "extensions":
    [
        "bash",
        "zsh",
        "sh",
        "profile"
    ],
    "default_line_ending": "unix"
}

    and save. You can follow this same general principle for any syntax, using any setting available in Preferences -> Settings-Default.
