Fixing Sublime Text 2 line endings

line-endingssublimetext2

Here is my Settings - User config:

{
    "auto_indent": true,
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Twilight.tmTheme",
    "default_line_ending": "LF",
    "detect_indentation": true,
    "font_size": 10.0,
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ],
    "indent_to_bracket": false,
    "smart_indent": true,
    "tab_size": 4,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "trim_automatic_white_space": true,
    "use_tab_stops": true
}

Comment to default_line_ending option says:
Comment to default_line_ending option

When I create a new file, I check line ending here:

Check line ending

As you can see it's still Windows…
Any ideas?

The comment states

// Determines what character(s) are used to terminate each line in new files.
// Valid values are 'system' (whatever the OS uses), 'windows' (CRLF) and
// 'unix' (LF only).

You are setting

"default_line_ending": "LF",

You should set

"default_line_ending": "unix",

You can use the file utility to give you an indication of the type of line endings.

Unix:

$ file testfile1.txt
testfile.txt: ASCII text

"DOS":

$ file testfile2.txt
testfile2.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

To convert from "DOS" to Unix:

$ dos2unix testfile2.txt

To convert from Unix to "DOS":

$ unix2dos testfile1.txt

Converting an already converted file has no effect so it's safe to run blindly (i.e. without testing the format first) although the usual disclaimers apply, as always.

Set default syntax to different filetype in Sublime Text 2

In the current version of Sublime Text 2 (Build: 2139), you can set the syntax for all files of a certain file extension using an option in the menu bar. Open a file with the extension you want to set a default for and navigate through the following menus: View -> Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... ->[your syntax choice].

Updated 2012-06-28: Recent builds of Sublime Text 2 (at least since Build 2181) have allowed the syntax to be set by clicking the current syntax type in the lower right corner of the window. This will open the syntax selection menu with the option to Open all with current extension as... at the top of the menu.

Updated 2016-04-19: As of now, this also works for Sublime Text 3.
