Thank you.
I tried to make one, but it's a bit more difficult. Specifically stuff like
this:
```Groovy
println "${string_interop}"
println '''My
String'''
println """My
String"""
println $/My
String
/$
double money = 12_345_132.12
```
http://docs.groovy-lang.org/docs/next/html/documentation/#_groovy_language_specification
For now, I just use this in filetype_extensions.conf:
```
Java=*.java;*.jsp;*.groovy;*.gradle;
```

Thanks, that's probably the best way.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Kotlin Language Support (#1581)
@esotericpig from what you mention it sounds like it'd be easy to create a [custom filetype](https://www.geany.org/manual/#custom-filetypes) just adding a few keywords, at least for the highlighting part, if the syntax is basically C++. For extracting symbols (the [Universal-CTags](/universal-ctags/ctags/) part) it might actually require some extra work if there is different syntax for defining classes or such, as then it's not merely tokenizing but parsing. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Kotlin Language Support (#1581)
I forked the project on SourceForge, but seems like a lot of work, don't know if I will get around to doing it (as I have other projects I'm working on). I found this: https://www.scintilla.org/Lexer.txt Basically, you would need to copy this file as LexKotlin.cxx: https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/scintilla/lexers/LexCPP.cxx https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/ci/default/tree/lexers/LexCPP.cxx Then add the new keywords and syntax that Kotlin has, such as `object` (lower-case), `data class`, `sealed class`, `fun`, `then`, etc. I think you'd probably also want to remove parsing of the ternary operator `a ? b : c` and add parsing for the elvis operator `a ?: b`. You can also look at this project that is adding the Rust language: https://sourceforge.net/u/dobkeratops/scintilla/ci/default/tree/ Here are other open source projects that have added Kotlin support for help as well: https://github.com/vkostyukov/kotlin-sublime-package https://github.com/nishtahir/language-kotlin -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Kotlin Language Support (#1581)
@esotericpig I'm not aware of any better docs than those projects own resources, maybe you could ask there (they are both totally separate projects from Geany, we just use their products). Maybe its not clear from the post above, but you can (actually must) use the lexer of an existing filetype and the parser of a possibly different existing filetype with a custom filetype. Thats probably the first thing to try, you may find existing ones are "good enough". I suggested Java, but I don't know how close Kotlin is, you could try any of the built-in languages. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Kotlin Language Support (#1581)
I went to the Scintilla website, but the documentation is pretty bad (IMO) for adding a new language. Is there an example or documentation available for how to add a new language? And also for making a pull request? (Wish it was on GitHub.) I'd like to also add Groovy. I also don't know what to do for UCtags. Grateful for any help.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Kotlin Language Support (#1581)
Feel free to post a pull request with a custom filetype file, maybe based on Java. Note that if Kotlin needs specific highlighting and symbols support those need to be added to the [Scintilla](https://www.scintilla.org/) and [UCtags](https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags) first before the integration into Geany. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
