fileencoding

[jalbersol]

Hi,
it would be great if the plungin would also support fileencoding (e.g. fileencoding=windows1252).
Many thanks in advance.

I second that. Encoding is the most important modeline for non-latin files that, for some reason, cannot be utf8

another situation is when handling DOSBox config files, VSCode will always assume UTF-8, but they are actually meant to be in CP437, and modelining would fix them on opening.

vscode's extension API still does not support setting the fileencoding or charset. microsoft/vscode#824
The EditorConfig extension is also waiting for the same functionality editorconfig/editorconfig-vscode#35
