Greetings All,<br>
<br>
This "kludge" may interest those who are interested in using Geany to<br>
edit<br>
source files in languages for which Geany has no native support.<br>
<br>
I have managed to obtain a high degree of support for the Euphoria<br>
Programming Language, including syntax color and context sensitive<br>
help, by<br>
backing up the original lua support files/references in filetypes.lua,<br>
filetype_extensions.conf, and snippets.conf, and then editing the lua<br>
files/references to<br>
support Euphoria. Support for Lua can be swapped/restored back by<br>
executing a batch file type program,<br>
written in Euphoria, which overwrites the the euphoria enabled, files<br>
with<br>
the origninal Lua support files. In like manner, Euphoria support<br>
can be<br>
selected again by copying/overwriting the Lua enabled files with those<br>
supporting Euphoria.<br>
<br>

TLDR; but you can make a custom filetype based on Lua's without<br>
clobbering the old one, there's some info in the manual:<br>
<a href="http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#custom-filetypes" target="_blank">http://www.geany.org/manual/<u></u>current/index.html#custom-<u></u>filetypes</a><br>
<br>
The general idea goes something like this:<br>
<br>
$ cp /usr/local/share/geany/<u></u>filetypes.lua \<br>
/home/you/.config/geany/<u></u>filedefs/filetypes.Euphoria.<u></u>conf<br>
<br>
And then edit the filetypes.Euphoria.conf file to customize keywords,<br>
settings, styles, etc. Then you need to add an extension to<br>
filetype_extensions.conf [Extensions] group:<br>
<br>
Euphoria=*.eu;<br>
<br>
And then add it to a [Groups] group in that same file:<br>
<br>
Script=...;Euphoria;<br>
<br>
Then after you restart all Geany instances you can have Lua and Euphoria<br>
side by side without having to choose which one is supported.<br>

Forgot the last step, put it on Geany's Wiki :)<br>
