Squirrel Filetype

Squirrel files are not currently supported by Geany. However, you can setup these rules to add highlighting to your code.

First, modify filetypes_extensions.conf. On Linux systems, this file is located at ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes_extensions.conf. If the file does not exist, then create it. Once the file has been opened, add the below code to the file.

NOTE: “…” represents existing data in the file.

[Extensions]
...
Squirrel=*.nut;
...
 
[Groups]
...
Programming=Squirrel;
...

Create filetypes.Squirrel.conf and place this file under ~/.config/geany/filedefs/. Next, placed the below code in the file.

filetypes.squirrel.conf.txt
