Change setting in Notepad++ to default R language - r

I have some R code files with extension .R and use Notepad++ as default application to work on them.
However when I double click an .R file to open in Notepad++, it opens as plain text file as symbol highlighting for R is not applied as default. I therefore have to manually chose language as R from the Language tab.
Is there any way to set default behaviour of Notepad++ such that when it opens a .R file, it will directly apply default style for R?
I have gone through various advices e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/58672/how-to-set-the-default-language-in-notepad and tried to follow advices there, but still could not apply default setting of R to .R file directly. My setting configuration looks like below :
It would be really helpful if someone can point to the right approach set default behaviour of Notepad++ so that it will apply settings for R language directly to .R file.
I am using Windows 10 as OS.

I've gotten this issue.
I resolved it by deleting disabling Rebol language in Notepad++. After I've done that the R language was detected.
It's not the best answer if you use Rebol language but I don't use nor know it.
Settings / Preferences.../ Language / disabled items (or hidden in some translations)

Screenshot of language selection You should be able to select language from the drop down on the top row. Although I recently made the switch to VSCode - would recommend.
Edit:1 You can use VSCode with extension installed R then you can refer official documentations from extension provider

How can I change which grammar gets used in Atom for ERB?

Atom recently stopped highlighting any embedded ruby inside my .html.erb files, so now they look like this:
However, if I change the grammar being used for the editor file to HTML (Rails) instead of ERB, everything goes back to being highlighted the way it should be:
But every time I open an ERB page it defaults to using the ERB grammar from the language-ruby package, which doesn't highlight any of the ERB, and I don't want to have to manually change the grammar each time I open an ERB file.
Is there any way to change which grammar Atom uses by default for a given file type? If not, are there any other workarounds to fix this and get ERB to start rendering embedded ruby in color again?
Before we get down to the actual question, how to change the default highlighting of a specific syntax, please check that this isn't related to the new treesitter parser.
If you really want to change the default syntax, you can add the following to your Atom configuration (config.cson):
"*":
core:
customFileTypes:
"text.html.ruby": [
"*.erb"
]
Make sure not to overwrite your existing configuration and nest the customFileTypes key correctly, since CSON is an indentation-sensitive format.

How to hide a file in Atom

I have a really huge webpack compiled javascript file in my project, and I'd like for it to be hidden in Atom since I keep clicking on it by accident, making Atom freeze.
How do I hide specific files in Github Atom Editor?
A quick way to hide a file would be to add it to the ignore-list in settings (open preferences, go to settings, under Core Settings you'll find Ignored Names).
Then to hide those from the tree view go to Packages, search for tree-view, open it's settings and make sure that Hide Ignored Names is checked.
If you're using a git-repository, for example, and don't need the file to be checked into the repository, it'd be cleaner to just add the file to .gitignore. Atom respects git-ignores and also hides them from the tree-view (as long as Hide VCS Ignored Names in the tree-view-settings is enabled).

How to set default languages for a filetype extension in IPython/Jupyter Notebook?

Whenever an file with .m extension is opened using the Jupyter Notebook, it always uses Mathematica as the language for syntax highlighting. I would like to open in Octave language. This can be done by scrolling through the entire list of languages in the drop-down box, but I had to go this every time I open a file.
Is there a way to set the default language syntax for a given file extension in Jupyter Notebook?

New ipython notebook templating

Is it possible to define some template content cells which all new ipython notebooks include when being created?
I'd like my notebooks to include some standard CSS using this method and possibly also have a markdown cell with links I'm frequently using .
Thanks to #Jakob for the help.
To get permanent customised CSS within the notebooks, I needed to create <myprofile>/static/custom/custom.css in my .ipython user folder folder.
This worked quite ok. I used the firefox's webdev tools to find the css items and classes in the ipython notebook and managed to get a monokai-ish style:
I also learned from here that you can inject javascript which might make it possible to add default content to new notebooks. I haven't tried this one yet though.
Edit: if interested, the css file lives here. The monokai colors are based on .cm-s-ipython, which I think is similar what sublime text is using.

Use compass remotely

I have a problem using compass-style remotley over ssh and my favorite text-editor textmate.
IS there somehow to put a delay on the actual compiling of the sass-files? I think the problem is that compass recognizes that the files are changed and instantly tries to create the css, but this is happening while my text-editor still is saving, which results in broken files.
So the question is, is it possible to delay the creation of the files or solve this in another way?
I have found a solution to the problem!
In the configuration of textmate it was possible to tick a box saying "use atomic save" which means that the program creates a temproary files, saves to the the temporary files, removes the old file and replaces it with the new one. This way compass can work just as excpected!
