Many editors such as vim and emacs support "modelines", a comment at the beginning of the file that allows the file type to be explicitly specified along with per-file specific settings - The amount of configurations, style and settings mapping cannot be handled in one go, so this opens up a lot of potential improvements. - I left out the possiblity to have "zed" specific modelines for now, but this could be potentially interesting. - Mapping the mode or filetype to zed language names isn't obvious either. We may want to make it configurable. This is my first contribution to zed, be kind. I struggled a bit to find the right place to add those settings. I use a similar approach as done with editorconfig (merge_with_editorconfig). There might be better ways. Closes #4762 Release Notes: - Add basic emacs/vim modeline support. Supersedes #41899, changes: - limit reading to the first and last 1kb - add documentation - more variables handled - add Arc around ModelineSettings to avoid extra cloning - changed the way mode -> language mapping is done, thanks to `modeline_aliases` language config - drop vim ex: support - made "Local Variables:" handling a separate commit, so we can drop it easily - various code style improvements --------- Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Conrad Irwin <conrad.irwin@gmail.com>
