EEL language file for Notepad++ (syntax highlighting)

[spk77]

Breeder recently made ReaSyntax: Sublime Text Syntax for JS/EEL/WALTER http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=141221 (thanks Breeder)

Here's a language file for those who use Notepad++ (this is for EEL scripts). All the current ReaScript API functions (REAPER v4.7) are added to the keyword list.

EEL2 language file for Notepad++ (I'm using "Deep Black" theme)


It's based on Tale's "JSFX dark" language file for NP++" http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php...72&postcount=7


Instructions

• Selecting theme and importing the language file:

• Registering eel extension in NP++ (don't know if it's necessary, but I did it anyway):

How could I missed that ! I also made some synthax highlight config file for REAPER (walter) !

Thanks for sharing

[DarkStar]

Is this, http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ , the right site for downloading Notepad++?

[X-Raym]

Yep

I wonder if there are any plans to include autocompletion in reaper IDE.

[X-Raym]

It would be nice, but there is other basic functions I missed in the REAPER 5.0pre3 IDE,
such as line number, search and replace...
But sure, it is very handy to be able to do such thing inside of reaper, for quick editing !

[X-Raym]

If anyone is interested, I made a Monokai version of spk77 EEL, and a Lua version of my Monokai EEL. I also added reaper functions basic autocompletion (keyword based), based on breeder's work too.

@X-Raym. Thanks. I tried to import the xml in the User defined language window but it says "Fail to import". I don't know what I am doing wrong.

[X-Raym]

@heda
OK my bad !

eel.xml and lua.xml are for autocompletion.

The EEL UDL is eel_udl. I forgot to add .xml :P (notepad export doesn't add it)

EDIT: readme and archive updated.

[heda]

ahhhh.. ok.. my bad too...
I was interested in the Lua one. I already have EEL configured, but I wanted just to add the REAPER Lua functions highlighting.
But I'm not sure if I need to replace lua.xml in plugins\APIs.. I already have one there and it is 225 KB, while yours is only 38KB?

[X-Raym]

@heda
I changed some Lua color directly on the Monokai theme (as it is not a user defined language). Lua.xml is for autocompletion. (I dont know why yours is bigger ^^).
REAPER Lua functions highlighting is made by adding functions froms the functions list inside the Monokai/Lua preferences into Functions/User.



Tell me if it works for you

[heda]

yes it works perfectly.
I was doing all wrong, trying to do a custom language as in EEL.
Also I remember now I think I downloaded a lua.xml from somewhere when I was starting with Lua. but maybe it was not needed since Notepad++ already supported Lua... anyway... all good

[X-Raym]

@heda
Perfect
Can't wait to see what you will do with it :P

I saw there is way to make more advanced auto-completion with variable help/infos for each functions but I would take so much time to do it, and it may be not very useful, as we still will have to have the API doc open somewhere (is that proper english ? hm...).

Juts updated my pack with better background colors for EEL, font consitency fix, and of course, your functions !

Hi Heda, Hi X-Raym.

I followed your steps (I'm on Win 10 64 and / or Win 7 64), but it looks like, the Auto-completion (as I understand it) doesn't work on my machine.

Is it meant to be working for *.lua as well, or did I misinterpret?

Whenever I try to type in "reaper.c" to get an auto-completion of e.g. "reaper.CountTakes" it will give me some random "reaper.API.." something entries in that list....maybe there is a way to clean up Noteptad++' cache?!

Did I miss something important?!

Apart of that:
I can not find a folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes
BUt I used C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes instead

Thanks upfront.

Hi !

I dont remember exactly how it works,
I used Atom editor now,
with this for autocompletion :
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=173434

Atom is easier to customize and is cross platform.

Hi X-Raym.

Thanks for the hint, but I can not get it to work in Atom.
But meanwhile I was able to get it to work with Sublime.
Thats a start. Nevertheless, If you have some steps for the dumb, I'd be glad to try them out to make it work in Atom as well :-)

BR,
HoJo
