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"
Not there in either.
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 ?
Several times, even loading a .ngc file in case a trigger was needed.
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" ...?
Humm, curiouser: copy/paste from ssh session to that machine;
gene@GO704:/opt/trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax$ cp gcode.xml ~/.trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax/gcode.xml cp: cannot create regular file `/home/gene/.trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax/gcode.xml': No such file or directory
There is no katepart in that path, and the whole tree is pretty sparse. This is a wheezy install.
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"
I didn't try that, didn't want to muck up the code I had loaded in this snapshot: but that didn't work as an insert, I'll see if it will attach. That worked, now lets see if the server will pass it, I did not shrink it in gimp first so its 420k of base64. My apologies. It should show the open kate ->tools -> highlighting ->other, list of choices I do have.
Just my two cents,
Thank you, maybe we can get it to work after all.
