I regularly use BBEdit to edit Verilog, VHDL, Scheme code and others
like these.
For most of the files suffix mapping works ok for me.
But there are setup files for EDA software that I use which do not
comply with suffix conventions.
E.g. some hidden rc files like .avntrc etc cannot be mapped to Scheme
mode even if specified in the prefs as ".avntrc" suffix. I ALWAYS
have to switch manually.
This REALLY is a pain in everyday work.
I searched the archives and learned that in some cases BBEdit greps
the shebang line e.g. #!/bin/sh to determine Shell, Perl, etc modes.
Why can't this be extended to more general usage like it is done in
editors like nedit where you can specify grep pattern to scan the
first lines of the file.
In my case I regularly insert a comment in the first line like
; ### scheme ###
and it works perfectly in nedit.
In BBEdit everything is already implemented as you can specify
exactly these pattern in file filters for multi-file searches.
So why not also use this for language recognition?
If I missed something I apologize.
If you have a solution without a lot of additional scripting I would
be glad to hear.
If that would become a built in feature, perfect!
Thanks
