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

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?

In Sublime Text (confirmed in both v2.x and v3.x) there is a menu command:

View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as ...

I've found the answer (by further examining the Sublime 2 config files structure):

I was to open

~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Scala/Scala.tmLanguage

And edit it to add sbt (the extension of files I want to be opened as Scala code files) to the array after the fileTypes key:

<dict>
  <key>bundleUUID</key>
  <string>452017E8-0065-49EF-AB9D-7849B27D9367</string>
  <key>fileTypes</key>
  <array>
    <string>scala</string>
    <string>sbt</string>
  <array>
  ...

PS: May there be a better way, something like a right place to put my customizations (insted of modifying packages themselves), I'd still like to know.

I put my customized changes in the User package:

*nix: ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/User/Scala.tmLanguage
*Windows: %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\Scala.tmLanguage

Which also means it's in JSON format:

{
  "extensions":
  [
    "sbt"
  ]
}

This is the same place the

View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as ...

menu item adds it (creating the file if it doesn't exist).

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

for ST3

$language = "language u wish"

if exists,

go to ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/$language.sublime-settings

else

create ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/$language.sublime-settings

and set

{ "extensions": [ "yourextension" ] }

This way allows you to enable syntax for composite extensions (e.g. sql.mustache, js.php, etc ... )

There is a quick method to set the synatx: Ctrl+Shift+P,then type in the input box

ss + （which type you want set）

eg: ss html +Enter

and ss means "set synatx"

it's really quicker than check in the menu's checkbox
