Description
The IDE supports compiling .S assembly files, but AFAIU it does not have support for syntax highlighting for these files, which would make working with them less than ideal.
@lmihalkovic, you mentioned you had some code for adding this syntax highlighting. Care to submit that as a pull request?
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names the IDE and .S assembly files but no source files or tests. Start by locating the IDE's syntax-highlighting support and how file types are recognized, then compare the existing language definitions. Done means .S assembly files receive syntax highlighting in the IDE and the relevant behavior is covered by an appropriate test, if one exists.
