Allow to get/set the encoding and charset

[iHuahua]

Such as IEncodingSupport::setEncoding , i want to code an extension for detect file's encoding. now detect encoding successed, but i don't known how to change encoding by API, could u help me?

[bpasero]

We currently do not have API to set the encoding for files from extensions.

@bpasero Think for your reply. Would you have plan to add API in future? or support encode detect just like ATOM?
#2123
Than my native language is Chinese, and vscode does not support encode detect without DOM header. so, I have to code an extension for encode detect, if both of them could not be supported, it will be a pity. your native language is English, perhaps you can not feel the pain about the garbled.
If I have not reply in time, please email to me, ihuahua#live.com , # => @
