# Source Code Identification

When KeyView auto-detects a file that contains source code, it can attempt to identify the programming language that it is written in.

NOTE:

Source code identification is a new, experimental feature in KeyView 12.0. It is available only on Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit platforms.

You can set source code identification to different levels.

Option | Description
--- | ---
`KVSOURCECODE_OFF` | Do not enable source code identification.
`KVSOURCECODE_ENABLED` | Enable source code identification for the most common source code formats.
`KVSOURCECODE_EXTENDED` | Enable source code identification for all supported source code formats. This option might lead to false positives in some cases (for example, a C++ file might get identified as a rarer format).

For the complete list of source code formats supported for both options, see Detected Formats.

You can enable source code identification by setting the appropriate level in the `formats_e.ini` file. For example:

    [Options]
    SourceCodeDetection=KVSOURCECODE_ENABLED
