How to customise file type to syntax associations in Sublime Text?

Question

I\'d like Sublime 2 editor to treat *.sbt files (to highlight syntax) as Scala language, same as *.scala, but I can\'t find where to set this up. Do you happen to know?

Answer 1

There's an excellent plugin called ApplySyntax (previously DetectSyntax) that provides certain other niceties for file-syntax matching. allows regex expressions etc.
