This project adds CoffeeScript syntax highlighting to the gedit text editor. (and any other gtksourceview compliant text editor)
-
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. -
Run gedit and open a CoffeeScript file or Cakefile.
Patches and improvements welcome!

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. -

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