I am using ROS and C++ and ROS packages have a CMakeLists.txt in them. I would like to have a syntax highlighting for CMakeLists.txt in visual studio code.

Unfortunately, I searched on the internet but I can't find how to do this.

Could you help me?

    Are you referring to syntax highlighting? If so, you might be looking for [this](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=twxs.cmake). – Kevin Apr 30 '19 at 11:54

Below is how to do it. It is quite straightforward (with an extension):

  1. Open Visual Studio Code
  2. CTRL+P - Launch VS Code Quick Open
  3. ext install twxs.cmake - Install the extension "CMake For VisualStudio Code"

I hope this will help someone else.

p.s. It is always like that. I search for a long time, I don't find an answer. Then I post the question here and I immediately find the answer.

most easiest is to install cmake and CMake Language Support extensions. makes your life easier. you could search them and install in extension panel in vs code.
