I wanted at least some basic syntax highlighting for protocol buffers (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/) files, so I simply copied filetypes.c to ~/.config/geany/filetypes.proto.conf and changed the following lines:
[keywords] primary= import message enum service extend required optional repeated rpc returns option extensions to secondary= double float int32 int64 uint32 uint64 sint32 sint64 fixed32 fixed64 sfixed32 sfixed64 bool string bytes default java_package java_outer_classname optimize_for cc_generic_services java_generic_services py_generic_services message_set_wire_format packed deprecated [settings] extension=proto lexer_filetype=C #protobuf is C-like enough that this works ok, maybe there are better choices... This works well enough, but when I open a .proto file, I have to manually select Document->Set Filetype->proto file. I tried adding a line to /usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf, but that doesn't seem to make geany use my filetypes.proto.conf when I open a .proto file. The docs are a little obtuse in how they explain some of this; a step-by-step would be helpful. Also if anyone knows of work that's been done to create a protobuf lexer and tags for geany, I'd love to know. -Kevin _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
