Greetings All,
This "kludge" may interest those who are interested in using Geany to edit
source files in languages for which Geany has no native support.
I have managed to obtain a high degree of support for the Euphoria
Programming Language, including syntax color and context sensitive help, by
backing up the original lua support files/references in filetypes.lua,
filetype_extensions.conf, and snippets.conf, and then editing the lua
files/references to
support Euphoria. Support for Lua can be swapped/restored back by
executing a batch file type program,
written in Euphoria, which overwrites the the euphoria enabled, files with
the origninal Lua support files. In like manner, Euphoria support can be
selected again by copying/overwriting the Lua enabled files with those
supporting Euphoria.
TLDR; but you can make a custom filetype based on Lua's without
clobbering the old one, there's some info in the manual:
http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#custom-filetypes
The general idea goes something like this:
$ cp /usr/local/share/geany/filetypes.lua \
/home/you/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.Euphoria.conf
And then edit the filetypes.Euphoria.conf file to customize keywords,
settings, styles, etc. Then you need to add an extension to
filetype_extensions.conf [Extensions] group:
Euphoria=*.eu;
And then add it to a [Groups] group in that same file:
Script=...;Euphoria;
Then after you restart all Geany instances you can have Lua and Euphoria
side by side without having to choose which one is supported.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
