Annotate Asm syntax highlighting

guy lateur · 30 May 2021, 16:18

Hi all,

I'm looking for a text editor for my coding work. It should support syntax highlighting (at least for asm and C/++, but preferably for many more languages). It should also allow multiple documents to be opened at the same time for easy browsing between source files. It should run on run on classic Amiga systems (read: OS 3.1).

Somebody directed me to Annotate, by OnyxSoft: https://www.onyxsoft.se/annotate.html

That seems to fit the bill pretty nicely, but it doesn't come with asm syntax highlighting straight out of the box. It does allow you to make custom highlighting definitions for any kind of source file, though, so I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a syntax highlighting config file for assembler. And/or an alternative for C/++, because the one that comes with it is kinda meh.

Of course, if you know of any other editors that meet my requirements, I'll be glad to hear about those too.

Cheers!

frexxed is very good but requires a little bit of emacsy configuration to automatically load the proper language mode based on the filetype

Alright, thanks, will check that out. Well, if Aminet ever get back online, that is..

I'm not an emacs user, but I'm willing to get into that if I get a decent editor out of it. Actually, emacs itself probably also provides what I'm looking for, I guess.

Seems Aminet is still down... Does anyone have any idea what the issue is? Hopefully it will be back up soon, although aminetsearch/get with UHCTools still works

http://de.aminet.net/aminet should get you going - though it doesn't have the search.

FrexxEd is in the text/edit folder.

According to their Facebook, it's a server problem:

Thanks!

Is it normal that the key kinda looks like Chinese?
