SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Built-in SmallBASIC syntax highlighting support (contributed by me). Remember to choose SmallBASIC as default for .bas extension instead of VisualBasic when first opening a .bas file.

Nice work I didn't know this editor before. It is lightweight and fast. Beside syntax highlighting you can also configure it to start your program directly from the GUI. I'll add ecode to the article about editors on the SmallBASIC website.

I must totally suck....haven't figured-out how to do this

Thank you for this 👍

Curious though; I found the languages folder but it was empty...where exactly do I find your syntax highlighting file?

Here it is:

There are two ways to define a new language. One is in C++, and one is in JSON. The JSON version will take precedent.

To get the JSON from C++, use this command:

ecode --export-lang=smallbasic --export-lang-path=./smallbasic.json

Move smallbasic.json into %USERPROFILE%\ecode\languages. You can make your own customizations in smallbasic.json.

Many thanks
