TextMate bundles

This extension uses Visual Studio's capability to load TextMate bundles.

It works by registering TextMate bundles so that Visual Studio will automatically load them when a file is opened that matches one of the bundles and no other language service is available for the specific file type.

For instance, this extension contains a TextMate bundle for YAML files, but if you decide to install the more powerful YAML Editor extension then that extension will win. That makes it safe to install this extension even if you have separate extensions for one or more of the languages already.

Unsupported langauges

The Textmate bundle support in Visual Studio 2015/2017 doesn't support all languages. Here are some extensions that provide language support to some of these unsupported languages:

• PHP - PHP Tools for Visual Studio.
• T4 (.tt) - Tangible T4 Editor

Also please note that Textmate bundles for JavaScript and TypeScript are not working correctly and it is recommended to install the native VS components for those languages.

Known issues

You need Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or newer for the Textmate bundles to work correctly.

File Icons

For the best experience, it is recommended that you also install the free File Icons extension.

Contribute

Feel free to suggest new languages not currently supported by this extension on the issue tracker. If you know a TextMate bundle that would work, then remember to add a link to that as well.
