[FEATURE]: Color SQL, Dockerfiles, config files and scripts in file tools #54702
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
write, edit and apply_patch color a file by its extension, and many everyday files come out plain:
- no parser is registered for SQL, Dockerfiles, ini-style config/systemd units or HAML;
.shmaps toshellscriptwhile the parser isbash(likewisemakefile/make,terraform/hcl), so shell scripts, Makefiles and Terraform are never colored;- extensionless files (
Dockerfile,Gemfile,PKGBUILD,.env, a script with a#!line) have no language at all; - ERB has an extension mapping but no parser.
Related: #39601 (extensionless files).

Thanks for the detailed request, @Nowaker! To restate it: when
write,editandapply_patchshow a file, it should get syntax colors for more file types. That means SQL, Dockerfiles, ini/systemd config, HAML and ERB, extensionless files (Dockerfile,Gemfile,PKGBUILD,.env,#!scripts), and extensions whose language name doesn't match the parser's name.The shell-script part is already fixed on
dev: #44772 maps.sh/.bash/.zsh/.kshto thebashparser. The other cases are still open.Related:
makeparser and other languagesThe maintainers will consider this.
