Hello,
First of all, thank you for developing this excellent extension! 🚀
I would like to request native support for MetaTrader source code files (.mq4 and .mq5).
Context:
- Language: MQL4 and MQL5 (proprietary languages for algorithmic trading on the MetaTrader platform, see mql5.com).
- Syntax: The syntax is almost identical to C++.
- Current Behavior: These files are not recognized by default and require manual configuration with specific UTI/MIME mapping to work properly.
Technical Details:
On macOS, the system identifies these files with the following MIME type (identical to C source):
$ file --mime-type example.mq4
example.mq4: text/x-c
$ file --mime-type example.mq5
example.mq5: text/x-c++
Request:
Could you please add .mq4 and .mq5 extensions to the default C/C++ syntax highlighting group? This would greatly help the algorithmic trading community on macOS.
Thank you!
