Keybinding to change Syntax

#1

Hey all,

I can’t find this feature, so I’ll ask you :wink:

Is there any existing key binding to change the syntax? Or how can I create that?

You can either use the menu (Alt+v,y,then select the syntax), or bind a key to “setFileType”, for example:

<binding key="ctrl+t" command="setFileType Packages/Python/Python.tmLanguage"/>

Try adding this to your key mappings:

{ "keys": "ctrl+shift+y"], "command": "show_overlay", "args": {"overlay": "command_palette", "text": "Set Syntax: "} }

The shortcut will bring up a quick panel where you can select (or type) the syntax to apply to the current view.
