My default Geany installation on Debian does not recognize some file types out of the box. How can I add extensions, using the same syntax highlighting as other known extensions for simplicity's sake?
In the current case, I'd like Geany to open all .aspx files with the same highlighting as .html files.
Use inside the menu Tools->Configuration files->filetype_extensions.conf. This will allow you to configure the filetypes based on suffix for your user.
Just add new extensions in /usr/local/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf
I had trouble accomplishing this without help from here.
Go here to read documentation about this topic.
From the Geany menu, go to:
Tools > Configuration Files > filetype_extensions.conf
Go to this line and un-comment it:
#~ [Extensions]
So that it just reads:
[Extensions]
I was needing to add .mjs as an additional extension for javascript. So, for me, I also uncommented this line:
#~ Javascript=*.js;
And changed it to:
Javascript=*.js;*.mjs;
After this, I saved the file.
Now when I opened files having a .mjs file extension, they automatically have Javascript Syntax Highlighting.
I made some suggestions to improve this expeirience here.

I have installed rubocop package for sublime text 3. I am trying to set custom rubocop configuration by providing rubocop.yml path to Rubocop.sublime-settings. Please find my configuration-snippet
"rubocop_config_file": "./.rubocop.yml"
However rubocop does not work when I give this configuration. It only works for
"rubocop_config_file": ""
How can i fix this and provide the path of my rubocop.yml to rubocop?
After some prodding, I found this :
By default, the linter plugin looks for a config file called
.rubocop.yml in the current directory and its parents
- https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-rubocop
Even though I am not using the linter-plugin, I figured rubocop does the same. So by placing the .rubocop.yml in the current directory or any of its parents, I was able to get my .rubcop.yml file to be picked by rubocop. On a side note, I did not update configuration of the rubocop package, it automatically picks the .rubocop.yml.
Other settings in this Rubocop.sublime-settings seem to use a complete path.
So instead of using the dot to start at the folder where the Rubocop.sublime-settings file is located use a full path like the examples for other Rubocop.sublime-settings configurations.
Hope this helps
I want my Atom.io opens "template.cshtml" files as html files.
I installed package "file-types"
and add to my config.cson as:
http://screencast.com/t/ABSsERh3gj52
But I see my templates.cshtml as early.
Please help me with config.cson
Have you checked out language-cshtml, it's an atom package meant directly at cshtml files which adds styntax highlighting.
I'm trying to add the syntax plugin for the Go programming language in Notepad++.
There is a repository for such user-defined languages. I downloaded and unzipped the Go files, which contained a README, a userDefinedLang_Go.xml, and go.xml.
I attempted to follow the instructions at the bottom of the page as follows. Since I am using Windows 7 (x64), my Notepad++ directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++".
Having not installed a user defined language before, I didn't have a userDefinedLang.xml file already, so I copied userDefinedLang_Go.xml into the root directory, and renamed it to remove the "_Go", making it userDefinedLang.xml.
I then copied go.xml into C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\
This seems to be all of the steps necessary. However, when I open Notepad++, there is no "Go" near "Lang => User Defined", and there is no syntactic coloring on a .go file. Attempting to import via "View => User-Defined Dialogue => import" gives a "fail to import" error.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using a clean installation of Notepad++, which is version 6.1.8.
I had to put my userDefineLang.xml file in my AppData\Roaming folder:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
New install of Notepad++ 6.4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit
Download from Notepad++ site:
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files#G
Copy "go.xml" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs.
The default install doesn't have any user-defined languages, so you can do this:
Copy "userDefineLang_Go.xml" to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
Remove the "_Go" from the file name, so it's "userDefineLang.xml"
Uncomment the opening and closing "NotepadPlus" tags.
(If you already have a userDefineLang.xml then add the content from the _Go file.)
Restart Notepad++.
I just got it working on my system after some tinkering. Put this at the top of the userDefinedLang.xml file and the go.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
That should do the trick (after reopening Notepad++).
go.xml should be in the plugins/APIs folder, and userDefinedLang.xml goes in the root of Notepad++ as you said.
Something other answers do not discuss: Some older versions of Notepad++ do not appear to work with any of these answers.
I tried pretty much all the solutions before upgrading Notepad++ to version 6.4.2.
xkcd 979
Tested Notepad++ versions:
5.9 - not working - tested by namey
6.4.2 - working - tested by Elysian Fields
6.6.9 - working - tested by namey
For other versions your mileage may vary.
I share the solution I found for Notepad++ 6.5, because I had the same issue than the previous messages.
If not done, do the install steps explained in go\misc\notepadplus\README (userDefineLang.xml,functionList.xml,APIs).
When you don 't have useDefineLang.xml in Notepad++, create one using the file from go\misc\notepadplus\useDefineLang.xml, but don't forget to add the first line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
and uncomment NotepadPlus part to have <NotepadPlus> at the beginning and </NotepadPlus> at the end.
Change in functionList.xml: <association ext=".go" id="go"/> BY <association userDefinedLangName="go" id="go"/>
As I didn't have any userDefineLang.xml file by default in Notepad++, I imported this file using the menu Language → Define your language → *Import.
Then stop/start Notepad++.
Check that Go is in the Language menu at the end of the list.
Open a .go file. If the color doesn't change automatically click on go in /Language menu
All were OK after that for me (indentation, color, autocompletion, etc.).
I added pl/sql language syntax to Notepad++. The syntax /language was on the web. Here's how I got it to work ...
Open the XML file using Notepad and added <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> to the very beginning, as David had suggested. Then save it to userDefinedLang_plsql.xml
Paste the file in the Notepad++ root directory.
I also copied it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\, and navigated to menu Languages → Userdefined, but it did nothing.
So, I then went to menu Languages → Define your language and selected pl/sql from the drop down, renamed it, and saved it in that dialog window.
The new language then it appeared in the language dialog at the end.
userDefineLang resides in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml.
Make sure your Notepad++ is installed under "C:\Program Files(86)", and not under "C:\npp.#.#.#.bin" folder.
And download from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download. Or simply google "Download Notepad++".
Check out a sample Scala language userDefineLang.xml file here: https://github.com/nfang/scala-syntax-highlighter
If you don't have any user languages defined before, then after renaming userDefinedLang_Go.xml to userDefinedLang.xml, also edit the text of file by adding the tags <NotepadPlus></NotepadPlus> around the original content.
I recently started using Sublime Text 2. What an awesome editor. It does a great job of highlighting Ruby code, but it does not highlight my Gemfile.
Is there a way to get it to do that?
I found this Gist but it has no instructions on how to use it.
There are at least three options:
Switch syntax manually (not preferred, but easy; no explanation required)
Add "Gemfile" to the list of Ruby-syntax files
Use the plugin you link to and create a package for it
1. No explanation, but handy trick
You can bind a keystroke to set syntax without moving to the mouse.
I bound syntax changing to Ctrl-Opt-Space by adding the following to my user keybindings:
[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+space"],
"command": "show_overlay",
"args": { "overlay": "command_palette", "text": "Set Syntax: " } }
]
2. Add "Gemfile" to list of Ruby-syntax files
Linux: ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.tmLanguage
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.tmLanguage
Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Ruby/Ruby.tmLanguage
You can also get there by using the menu option Preferences -> Browse Packages and going into the Ruby package. Once you're in the file it'll be obvious: it's the <array> element with Ruby-looking filenames. Add <string>Gemfile</string> and you're all set.
It's possible the setting could get overwritten on an upgrade; I'm not sure how that works with ST2–it may be cleaner to do it through code as in the snippet.
3. Using the snippet you linked to
More work (and the correction of one syntax error). You can either do it manually, by creating a directory in Packages (see above for location) or create an actual package and allow ST2 to install it.
I created a test package called "Syntax" and copied the snippet into it, restarted ST2, and opening a Gemfile worked as expected. The correction required an additional colon (new gist), nutshell:
elif name[-3] == "erb": # Needed a semi-colon here.
set_sintax(view, "HTML (Rails)", "Rails")
If you are here but are using Sublime Text 3 you might not be able able to find the 'list of Ruby-syntax files' in packages.
Most other solutions found online were confusing to me.
I fixed this by manually changing Gemfile to Ruby in the bottom right hand corner file extension menu item when you have opened the file in Sublime Text 3 (which is what I had been doing each time I opened the file up until now).
Once you have selected ruby then go to Preferences -> Settings-More -> Syntax Specific-User
{
"extensions":
[
"Gemfile",
"Gemfile.lock"
]
}
When you navigate to Syntax Specific User it opens a file specific to the language that the file has syntax highlighting for. You may need to change the file back to whatever it is defaulting too (mine was 'Rd (R Documentation).sublime-settings') and removing Gemfile from that Syntax highlighting file.
In Ubuntu these files are stored at
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User
The DetectSyntax plugin for ST2 provides a more comprehensive solution to highlighting files - It allows file highlighting based on rules. It's smart enough to understand the difference between a Rails file, other files that use .rb as an extension and standard ruby files.
The standard rules include Gemfile, Rakefile, Guardfile and others matched to Ruby for Syntax formatting.
See DetectSyntax on GitHub.
You can achieve this by copying the HTML.tmLanguage file in the User/ folder, this way it won't be overwritten by an update.
I'm trying to use Ubuntu for Rails development and I'm liking gedit except the syntax highlighting does not seem to work with out me setting it for each file I open. Should it not recognize a .rb file a ruby file rather than me having to go into the menu and setting it as such?
Have I missed a setting somewhere?
Try to edit your /etc/mime.types file and add those “text/x-????” entries:
text/x-ruby-source rhtml html.erb erb
text/x-eruby rjs
text/x-yaml yml yaml
Try opening up /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ruby.lang again and addding this line at the top of the section:
<property name="mimetypes=">application/x-ruby</property>
If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.
Syntax highlighting pulls its settings from XML lang files, although the Ruby lang file should automatically pick up on .rb files. To check, open the language file from /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ruby.lang and see if *.rb is mentioned.
<property name="globs">*.rb</property>
