When we are at LinuxCNC, could you try out the new syntax highlighting for gcode? It's included in the latest psb builds.

For what editor? Where should I see it IOW. Certainly not gedit as it has an incurable tendency to move arbitrary blocks of code around in the file so its been nuked from all of my systems. gedit is a very capable editor, capable of wrecking 2 years work. I've sorted that pan of scrambled eggs, 1000 LOC, several times too many, even resorting to getting last nights backup out to recover.
It's for "kate" and "kwrite" :-)
oh
I now use nano or geany if a gui is available, which so far has Just Worked(TM). It does do some C style code checking, matching brackets etc type stuff, but I've found highlighting words only usefull by the spell checkers.
geany was what I used ill I found FernVs gcode.xml for kate. I think the highlighting for kate works way better than in geany. The only bug I found is indirect o-calls are marked as syntax error (e.g.: o[#1] is displayed red underlined).
I'll have to see if thats available. kate and kwrite were not installed on that machine, but 47 files are being updated as I type, and a reboot will be needed before I can test this. And after installing them both, I can't find it (g-code.xml).
As for LCNC, I wish the highliteing of the line being processed in it lower code display wasn't greyed out as it is now, but displayed in bold text. Trying to read the greyed out text is getting difficult with my cataracts thrown in.
perhaps you could do something about that?
I think that would be possible, but axis is written python and my python knowledge is still in a book on the shelf ..
99% of mine is too, but I've not bought the book yet. :(
Don't bother spending your money. Just download it from somewhere or other.
And we are off-topic, again.
Bad cat! Bad cat!
