Well, Kwrite/kate has a really nice feature that is exactly about that [see attached screenshot]. What it does is showing you all available highlight languages and allowing you to install/update(if there are newer versions), it's quite handy. > > So far, TM4E wasn't meant to include TM grammars.

An easy way to install/update grammars locally, preferably by some kind of registry exposed as UI by tm4e would be killer feature IMHO. As these grammars are maintained elsewhere a way to install/update them without publishing Eclipse plugins should simplify usage. > -- > Mickael Istria > Eclipse developer for Red Hat Developers > My blog - My Tweets > > _______________________________________________ > ide-dev mailing list > ide-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from > this list, visit > https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ide-dev -- Alexander Kurtakov Red Hat Eclipse team
