gedit Syntax Highlighting for CoffeeScript files

This project adds CoffeeScript syntax highlighting to the gedit text editor. (and any other gtksourceview compliant text editor)

Installation and Use

1. Download and place coffee_script.lang in ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs

   Note: if those directories don't exist, make them and gedit will know what to do. Important: if you are using GTK3 (e.g. Gnome Shell) use gtksourceview-3.0 folder instead of 2.0.

2. Run gedit and open a CoffeeScript file or Cakefile.

Patches and improvements welcome!

Extra: Install the Ruycius-Mod theme

1. Download and place rubycius-mod.xml in ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles

   Note: if those directories don't exist, make them and gedit will know what to do. Important: if you are using GTK3 (e.g. Gnome Shell) use gtksourceview-3.0 folder instead of 2.0.

2. Run gedit then Edit > Preferences > Fonts and Colors > Color Scheme > Rubycius-Mod

3. I like using Liberation Mono for a base font as well which is available within the standard repo for many Linux distros.
