How can I prevent sublime text from extracting keywords in comments?
e.g. I have the following javascript source file
// some keyword
I do not want to have either some or keyword to be in the completion list.
Thought it would be a common question but couldn't find anything on it.
If you use Sublime Code Intel - https://github.com/SublimeCodeIntel/SublimeCodeIntel - you can get read suggestions for the correct methods and variables rather that just words that are used in your code.
If you are on ST3 it's a little hard to get up and running, but it's totally doable.
I found these instructions to work https://johnblackbourn.com/sublimecodeintel-st3

I am copying a bunch of log output to a github issue and I want to indent it so that it is distinguishable as code/output from the rest of the issue.
How do I do this?
I tried:
CTRL+Tab
CTRL+[
CTRL+]
CTRL+Spacebar
but none seem to work? I really don't want to do every single line individually..
Wrap your code inside ```.
You can also specify language name after if your log file is analogus to any programming language's syntax.
e.g.
```yaml
You can refer Gihub Flavored Markdown for more info.
I have a large source code where most of the documentation and source code comments are in english. But one of the minor contributors wrote comments in a different language, spread in various places.
Is there a simple trick that will let me find them ? I imagine first a way to extract all comments from the code and generate a single text file (with possible source file / line number info), then pipe this through some language detection app.
If that matters, I'm on Linux and the current compiler on this project is CLang.
The only thing that comes to mind is to go through all of the code manually and check it yourself. If it's a similar language, that doesn't contain foreign letters, consider using something with a spellchecker. This way, the text that isn't recognized will get underlined, and easy to spot.
Other than that, I don't see an easy way to go through with this.
You could make a program, that reads the files and only prints the comments out to another output file, where you then spell check that file, but this would seem to be a waste of time, as you would easily be able to spot the comments yourself.
If you do make a program for that, however, keep in mind that there are three things to check for:
If comment starts with /*, make sure it stops reading when encountering */
If comment starts with //, only read one line - unless:
If line starting with // ends with \, read next line as well
While it is possible to detect a language from a string automatically, you need way more words than fit in a usual comment to do so.
Solution: Use your own eyes and your own brain...
I am trying to create a simple sublime syntax where when the first word of a line is "DONE" the whole line turns to a different color.
For example:
- do this
DONE - do that // this line turns green
- but also do this
My two questions are:
- How does one go about creating a ST syntax
- How would I create the above simple syntax.
The most you could highlight is the region containing text. I don't know if that's what you are looking for. To do this would require defining a tmLanguage file and modifying you tmTheme file. The tmLanguage file describes a set of regular expressions for which a scope is applied to the text within ST. The tmTheme file takes the scopes applied, and applies some coloring. I'm not an expert on writing either of these files, so you may need to do some experimentation on your own.
For information on writing syntax files, see here and here. The theme files are much simpler, in terms of defining them. Those guides recommend using AAAPackageDev, which is not necessary (and not compatible with ST3 last I checked). The language files are all XML, which you can work with, but I find working in JSON or YAML easier. If you feel the same way, you can start with the below snippet and use SerializedDataConverter to convert between XML and PLIST/JSON.
{
"name": "Syntax Name",
"scopeName": "source.syntax_name",
"fileTypes": [""],
"patterns": [
],
"uuid": "ca03e751-04ef-4330-9a6b-9b99aae1c418"
}
I can't recall the location of any references, but I'm sure they're out there. Though, simply viewing some existing theme files may be enough for you. TO view these, you can use PackageResourceViewer. Isn't really necessary if you are working in ST2, but makes things much easier in ST3. To begin working on your own custom theme, I'd copy the contents of the theme file you are currently to a new file, and save it in your Packages/User directory. That way, you always have something to revert to, in case you mess something up.
So I have been trying to figure out how to add syntax highlighting for the name of typedef's in c++ files, in sublime text.
For example, if I have typedef long long integer; I want integer to be highlighted (preferably the same color as the other types: int, bool, etc.). I went looked at the C.tmLanuage file, and tried to add the following regex code ^typedef.*?\s(\w+)\s*; to storage.type.c (line 49), but it didn't work. If I add the word string, it will highlight all instances of the word string. I tried going in the C++.tmLanguage file, and adding the regex code to storage.type.c++, but it still did not work.
Does anybody know how to get typedef's highlighted in sublime text?
Also, is there a way to get syntax highlighting for class name? Let's say I declare a string or vector, I would like either string or vector to be highlighted.
That regex would work (I believe) if you had something along the lines of typedef foo; To get the behavior you want, you will have to create a slightly more complex pattern entry in the tmLanguage file. As the language file is based on TextMates, you will want to have this as a reference (http://manual.macromates.com/en/language_grammars#language_grammars). I would also recommend using PlistJsonConverter (working in JSON is easier for me than working in XML). You will probably need to define begin and end patterns (begin will probably be typedef end will probably be ;). You can then apply whatever patterns you want to that group.
As for the class name highlighting, I would look to see what, if any scopes are being applied. If none are, you will have to come up with a regex to apply the scope to those. You can then add a color entry, or use a defined one from the color scheme.
Edit:
Actually they don't appear to be JSON. I see () rather than []. JSON is pretty simple to understand. You can look for something more in depth, but wikipedia is a good place to start. What you would probably be interested in are the things under the "Rule Keys" section. I did some searching (because I knew there were some better examples out there), and came across http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/extensibility/syntaxdefs.html . It goes over syntax definitions from scratch, but the most relevant section is probably http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/extensibility/syntaxdefs.html#analyzing-patterns. I don't have a regex to find class names, so you would have to come up with one yourself. If you haven't already though, you may want to search around to see if someone else has implemented a language file in a way that works for you.
You will want to start with the built in tmLanguage file and convert that from a Plist to json. You can then edit that file and move it back.
Taking a tutorial on basic programming. I'm using TextMate as the text editor and can't seem to get it to pull in previously defined variables when using them later in the file.
For example, if I write:
var str = "Hello" + "World";
and then write:
alert(st
I noticed in the tutorial, the teachers editor completes it with str. I've been looking all over to see if TextMate supports this functionality, but can't seem to find it. Is this possible or do I need another editor?
This answer seems to imply that it should complete if using terms used in the same file:
Autocomplete Class methods in textmate?
But it doesn't happen that way when I'm writing. Thanks.
You can use the escape key to autocomplete.
