work (even if source.perl did not come up in the grep) if the<br>

And TextMate evaluates the shebang which also works in a pipe.<br>

So that solves my problem, but I am still wondering if a complete list,<br>
or the logic used should not be published somewhere...</p>

<p dir="auto">The type <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><filetype></code> argument for <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mate -t</code> is indeed the grammar’s root scope that you find by grepping the property lists.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can also find this value either in the bundle editor, select a language grammar and it is the “Grammar” field in the drawer, alternatively, if you open a file of the desired type, press ⌃⇧P and a tool tip shows with the full scope of the insertion point, the first line is the grammar’s root scope, and what to use for <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mate -t</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">There is no full list because it would depend on what bundles you have installed/created. But I guess it wouldn’t be bad if there was a way for <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">mate</code> to query the list of installed bundles. I’ve added a note about this, although the effort to implement this is probably not proportional with the benefit.</p>
