How to set syntax highlighting in sublime text through editorconfig

my .editorconfig file look like this

root = true

[*.rush]
syntax = ruby

I have put it in the top of the folder hierarchy. However, the sublime text shows all the .rush files as plain text and I have to manually change the syntax highlight to Ruby.

Anyone knows how to do this?

Solution

  • Syntax highlighting isn't supported by EditorConfig yet.

    The core set of supported properties that is widely supported by all editors -

    • indent_style
    • indent_size
    • tab_width
    • end_of_line
    • charset
    • trim_trailing_whitespace
    • insert_final_newline
    • root

    max_line_length is supported by a limited number of editors (Emacs, Vim, Atom, ReSharper, Rider, AppCode, IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, and WebStorm)

    It's still an open issue (#190) to support highlighting.

    You can find other proposed properties on its GitHub wiki.
