New syntax highlighting for gedit

Hi,

For those of you that prefer using gedit, I wrote a new HL file for you.

Just copy ngc.lang.txt file to either (REMOVE THE .txt EXTENSION)
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/
or
~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/ (you can also use 2.0 instead)



and GCode.xml (colors) in
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/
or
~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/
then restart gedit, open a ngc file and select GCode color scheme



here what it looks like



If you do not like the colors I selected, try to find a scheme you like or edit GCode.xml by inspecting ngc.lang to see how colors are mapped

Best regards
Fernand

I don't have Mint, but i believe it is shipped with GTK2 so you need to look for /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/ directory

You need to set the color scheme as well (in the preference menu)

It's working great for me. Thank you.

hello FERN
got it installed. Works as promised.

Thank you so much! :Lachen:

Tip: For Windows users
the path to the directories is called here:
Storage location of the program then \ share \ gtksourceview-2.0 \ language-specs
for the file: ngc.lang

and

Storage location of the program then \ share \ gtksourceview-2.0 \ styles for the file: GCode.xml
