Description

The VSCode extension does not seem to support creating new Lua scripts. It does seem to support creating LSL scripts, but not Lua.

  1. Explore in IDE
  2. In VSCode select "New File"
  3. .lsl is a new script file.
  4. .lua, .luau, and .slua are all treated as notecards.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the VSCode extension using the listed steps, checking how New File handles .lsl, .lua, .luau, and .slua. Trace the extension's script-file recognition or creation entry point; done means Lua extensions are treated like LSL scripts rather than notecards.
