Greetings all;
I find that despite having gcode.xml installed at
/opt/trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax/gcode.xml
I have this file on my system, too, and I think it's from the latest upgrade of kate
in TDE PSB (Nik and Michele actually talked about it and announced the integration of
gcode high-lighting into the package, but you probably know that already). I find
"G-Code" in the menus:
Tools -> Highlighting -> Other -> "G-Code"
neither kate nor kwrite can find it, as in offer it as
a choice in the
menu's.
Did you restart kate / kwrite after you installed gcode.xml ?
geany doesn't have that either so I am used to
looking at gcode
as plain text.
Whats next? The idea does sound helpfull if only to highlight the typu's
these ancient fingers can make.
maybe copy "gcode.xml" to
"~/.trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax/gcode.xml" ...?
OTOH, I find kate takes around 20 seconds of standing
on the down arrow
key to get to the bottom of a 250 LOC .ngc file.
That's where I use "Ctrl + End" ;-)
Compared to geany,
thats un-acceptably slow. It also apparently can't save the users prefs,
so every new session has to be reconfigured to enable such as line
numbers.
IIRC, that's default behavior. I haven't checked again right now, but if I think
you can configure that.
Settings -> Configure Kate... -> Application -> Sessions -> "Save
Session"
Just my two cents,
Stefan
