Is there a way to set a default document type when saving a NEW FILE?

This plugin does it:
https://github.com/spadgos/sublime-DefaultFileType
seems pretty great.
Edit:
Ok, two things, there currently seems to be a small bug so the text file syntax is not being correctly picked up due to the whitespace in the filename. In addition you need to set the “use_current_file_syntax” to false, (otherwise the new file will default to whatever filetype you have open already when you hit Ctrl-N)… So the fix/workaround is this:
Put the following code in: Packages/User/default_file_type.sublime-settings
NOTE THE UNDERSCORE.
Next, find the “Plain text.tmLanguage” file and copy and rename it (in the same folder) as “Plain_text.tmLanguage”. [be sure to copy/duplicate it, do not just rename it, as it may have dependancies]
Restart, just to be sure, and this should do the trick.
Also note this plugin only works for new files created with Ctrl-N.
