Enforce syntax highlight

[waldauf]

Hi,

I'm working a lot of with Kubernetes configuration files named config. These files are YAML but without the suffix yml|yaml. In vim is possible to type the command :set syntax=yaml and it's applied (if fits). Also when you read stdout from a command that has some structure/format it is useful to set appropriate syntax.

My questions:

• How can I enforce syntax highlight for the file?
• For my example of Kubernetes config - how to add config into regex in language.toml file to apply there yaml LSP? Something as the example below, which doesn't work for me

[[language]]
name = "yaml"
scope = "source.yaml"
injection-regex = "yml|yaml"
comment-token = "#"
file-types = [ "yaml", "yml"]
roots = [ "~/.kube/config.*" ]
language-servers = [ "yaml-ls" ]
indent = { tab-width = 2, unit = "  " }

I don't know about the second question, but for the Helix equivalent of Vim's :set syntax=yaml, you have :lang yaml.

Hi @Omnikar ,
thank you for your answer. At least this is a big help for me.
