From the project sidebar, right-click the file and choose "Associate with File Type". Then just select Groovy from the menu, and you're all set.

GoLand does not support Groovy so this will not be possible there.

If you add following header comment in the beginning of your Jenkinsfile:

#!groovy

IntelliJ IDEA will automatically recognize this file as a Groovy source file. It should work for other editors and IDEs as well.
