 Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 7:56 pm Post subject: Great editor with VDS syntax highlighting |
 |
|
hi,
if someone is looking for an additional vds-editor with syntax highlighting - here is a great one:
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
it's called notepad++, has incredible features, supports many programming languages (of course
interface languages as well), and it's freeware.
there are loads of plugins (e.g. hexedit) for it and also it can run external programs, so it should
be possible by automating the vds-ide to run your scripts directly.
i made the syntax highlighting for vds, i dont know how to append a file to this post, so here it is:
(copy this code, save it to userDefineLang.xml and put it into notepad++ directory.
then in the program choose VDS from the language-menu. )
| Code: |
<NotepadPlus>
<UserLang name="VDS" ext="dsc">

<Global caseIgnored="yes" />
<TreatAsSymbol comment="no" commentLine="no" />

Why don't you like the VDS IDE? What features would you like it to have? Personally I don't really see the point of using a editor when you have access to an IDE that has been built to specifically support the language. I have used Notepad++ in the past but only when the Language I was using did not come with an IDE. Needless to say I don't use those languages any more. Also there are parts of the VDS IDE that is not that easy to automate like the project management parts. It's not impossible but would take more than just a few lines of code to write.

hey,
@vdsalchemist
this doesn't mean that i don't like the vds ide at all. but for some rasons i wanna have an additional editor.
For example if i copy parts from one project to another. any file i open in the ide gets automatically added to the current
project an is opened with it next time.
and i like the folding feature in notepad++ very much, also that thin lines are drawn for if/end and repeat/until.
