CS2 Config Highlighter

This extension adds color-coded clarity to .cfg files, making it easy to edit and optimize your game settings, ensuring your configs are both accurate and visually intuitive.

Features

Diferrences with my own cfg file

• Vivid Syntax Highlighting: Instantly differentiate CS2-specific commands (e.g., sensitivity, bind) with distinct colors for seamless config editing.
• Value Clarity: Clearly distinguish strings, numeric/boolean values, and IP addresses (used in connect commands).
• Source 2 Engine Support: Tailored for CS2’s .cfg format, ensuring accurate highlighting for autoexec and custom config files.
• Error Reduction: Visual cues highlight commands and values, helping prevent syntax mistakes that could stop your cfg from running correctly.

• Open a .cfg file
• Click the bottom-right corner to change the File Association (or press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+M)
• Select: Configure CS2 Config language based settings…

Or open your user settings (Ctrl+,) and add the configuration manually:
