Note that Scintilla (the syntax-highlighting and editing component that Geany uses) is so much integrated into the editor (and plugins) that it would be really hard to replace it with something else and I don't think there are any plans to do that. So Geany will always depend on the availability of Scintilla lexers for language support. That said, I don't think there's any urgent problem on Geany's side even with the current hard-coded language support. The fact that I added support for several languages recently was driven by my feeling that some language support requests have been neglected for a long time and I tried to fix that - and the currently open PRs are all I plan, there's nothing else in my sleeve. And I think it will be always the case that some "esoteric" languages (and of course what's esoteric depends on who you ask) will not be supported. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3970#issuecomment-2435704456 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
