Custom File Extension Automatic Syntax Highlighting in Brackets

October 13, 2019 - 1 minute read -

I spend a little bit of time today just trying to get custom file extensions to automatically syntax highlight in Brackets.app. This problem came about because I kept opening my shell scripts, which didn’t have extensions for ease-of-calling, but it would open as Plain Text “syntax highlighting” (i.e., no syntax highlighting).

To change this, you just go to

/Applications/Brackets.app/COntents/www/main.js

and change the file names from here!
