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?

It makes sense to be able to specify the syntax in the .editorconfig file.

Alternatively, it could be a new standard that editors or programs can look at for specifying the syntax of different globs, file names, or file extensions.

[$]> cat ~/.syntaxconfig

[$]> cat ~/.syntaxmapping

[.custom_shell] bash
[{*.rush, *.wish}] ruby

bash [.custom_shell]
ruby [{*.rush, *.wish}]

[bash]
.custom_shell

[ruby]
*.rush
*.wish

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.
