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.

Check out the contribution guidelines if you want to contribute to this project.

For cloning and building this project yourself, make sure to install the Extensibility Tools 2015 extension for Visual Studio which enables some features used by this project.

Highlighting sometimes isn't applied when doing a Diff

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2015 Enterprise
• This extension: 1.2.17

Description

When I run a compare on project files, no syntax highlighting occurs. However, if I open the same file normally, syntax highlighting does occur. I've tried doing compares of a few other file types and they have all worked so perhaps there is something special with project files (or I may not have done enough testing to notice a pattern).

Steps to recreate

1. Make a change to a project file under source control (e.g. add a new file)
2. Run a Compare on the .csporj file and notice no syntax highlighting occurs
3. Unload the project (right click --> Unload Project) and then edit the project file directly. Notice that syntax highlighting, autocompletion, etc. all functions as expected

Current behavior

No syntax highlighting when doing a diff

But is highlighted when editing normally:

I also noticed that the extension is aware that it can't do the highlighting because it adds a "Report missing language support for .csproj files" to the context menu when doing a diff (but that is is not added when editing the file normally)

Expected behavior

Ideally the syntax highlighting would occur when looking at the diff.

Missing support for .pug files

.pug used to be .jade, so you can basically re-use the highlighting of the .jade filetype

Missing support for .json files

Optionally, please give more details such as language name and homepage URL

Missing support for .csproj files

while using DIFF on .csproj file, it's not displaying highlight elements

Missing support for .vash files

Optionally, please give more details such as language name and homepage URL

Select the syntax from the context menu

Installed product versions

• This extension: 1.5.42

Description

This should be very useful if you can apply the syntax to the ile with unknown extension or without extension. Easy way when I can choose a syntax from the context menu.
You may also remember my choice for the current file
Is API enough for this?

Missing support for QT files: .pro, .pri, .prf, .qml, .qrc

It would be great to be able to edit the QT project files with syntax highlighting, not only in qtcreator

Missing support for .pug files

Got VS2015 Community and 1.6.46 version.
Renaming to jade does the trick but messes with the project.

Missing support for GLSL .frag, .vert, .geom files

GLSL fragment shader and vertex shader files. Its a C derivative with a lot of builtins.

There are other files following the same scheme with minor differences for tesselation control shader, tesselation shader, compute shader

If you would just add a quick fix treating them as C, it would be nice too. supporting builtins would be ideal.

Missing support for .sql files

When comparing SQL Files (as part of a Visual studio Database Project) would be awesome to have SQL Support :) . I realise its not really a high priority. Thanks for all your work Mads.

None of the language packs work

I've installed the plugin, and the bundles are just unused, is there some fancy way to install this, which is not documented, or could there be anything that just blocks the bundles?

[suggestion] Add "force use this extension for file type" setting.

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2015 ent, upd 3
• This extension: latest (built from this repo)

Description

I can't get your beautiful extension to work on my working instance of VS, but it works on experimental instance (when i build your extension from this repo and run it).
Obviously, some extension or somewhat is interfering (and, as you say, your extension has lowest priority).
I've tried like 5-7 file types with no positive results. there is no highlighting in any of them and I seemingly have nothing installed to be used for those types.
I've switched off all extensions that may theoretically interfere, but no result also.

While I understand it's my "fault", I will dare to suggest couple of features:

• in settings dialog: add list of supported file types with checkboxes. Checkboxes will mean "force this". So your extension will be low priority for those extensions, which are unchecked and top priority for those are checked.
• or/and add "debug mode", which will log, "who" is in control of highlighting for particular file type. (or please direct me where to search it, so i figure out myself)

thanks, and sorry if this type of request must not belong here (tho, I suppose it confirms with the guidelines)
