duplicate of #183

yes it would be awesome if it automatically detects file-type.

here I'm editing .php file but it is showing as JavaScript.

The problem is that the selector always displays "javascript" as the first choice.
It cannot reflect current choice. (It is part of the ACE system)

Incidentally, there is another problem by simply specifying file extension as document type. It only succeeds in: .php, .xml, .html, .text and a few others.

For example, it fails with: .htm, .txt .js and many others, since the system's defined document types must be specified.
For this to work, a file extension to document type must be converted.

Here is the list of document types:
