 ### File detection
 
-To avoid mishandling non-Ansible YAML files, the Ansible Language is not associated with any file extensions by default. To change this behavior you can add a `"file_types"` section to Zed settings inside your project (`.zed/settings.json`) or your Zed user settings (`~/.config/zed/settings.json`) to match your folder/naming conventions.
