====== Select Language Mode for Given Files ======

{{template>:meta:template:pageinfo#tpl |desc=}}

When you use __a new file suffix unknown to <wrap pkg>VS Code</wrap>__, the code in the file will not be 
displayed in a __highlight style__. If you want to apply an existing style (language mode) to such a file,
e.g. as in the [[#demo|Demo]], use the ''Shell Script'' mode for ''*.tc'' files. You can do the followings:

  - Press <wrap keys><wrap key>Ctrl</wrap><wrap key>Shift</wrap><wrap key>P</wrap></wrap> and then
    select <wrap menu>Preferences: Open User Settings</wrap>. \\
    {{:tools:vscode:tips:select_language_mode:media:20231026-110529.png?direct}} \\ \\
  - Type ''file.association'' and Select <wrap menu>Workspace</wrap>. Fill in the 
    <wrap menu>Item</wrap> and <wrap menu>Value</wrap> pairs as needed. \\ 
    {{:tools:vscode:tips:select_language_mode:media:20231026-111607.png?direct}} \\ \\
  - If you don't know the language modes that exist in VS Code, press <wrap keys><wrap key>Ctrl</wrap> 
    <wrap key>K</wrap></wrap> and then <wrap key>M</wrap> to list them. ((note:>If **Vim** mode is enabled, 
disable it before trying to use shortcuts. Because <wrap key>M</wrap> conflicts with the Vim 
[[https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/motion.html#mark|mark]] command.)) \\
