brackets-use-strict-js's Issues

When the first line of a file is empty, the statement is entered on the 2nd line.

The new line before the statement shouldn't be included in this situation.

Extension adds "'use strict';" to .htaccess files.

The extension appears to be mistaking .htaccess files as JavaScript files.
