[TxMt] Re: Using „First Line Match” in grammars

Makes sense! So the precendence is like this?

1. Use explicit binding from Global.tmProperties.
2. If none found, use first line match.
3. If none found, use file types (extension).

Yes.

If more than one bundle claims a file type by extension, is it “longest match wins“? (The RSpec bundle uses `_spec.rb` which seems to take precedence over Ruby's `rb` even for empty files.)

Yes, longest wins.

And what happens if two bundles claim the exact same extension? (Both Ruby and Rails claim `rb`, and apparently the Ruby bundle “wins”.)

This is undefined.

...

[ *.rb~*_spec.rb ] fileType = source.ruby.rails

Cool – didn't know that it's possible to combine wildcards like this!

This is also useful when doing folder searches, and one can add multiple exclusions.
