==CMake Editor Modes==
{{CMake/Template/Moved}}


There are [[CMake]] syntax highlighting and indentation supports for many editors:
This page has moved [https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/Editors here].
 
* '''Eclipse''' [http://www.cthing.com/CMakeEd.asp CMake Editor]. Plug-in for the Eclipse IDE providing syntax coloring and content assist for editing CMakeLists.txt and any file ending in a .cmake extension. Integrates the CMake command reference documentation into the Eclipse Help system.
 
* '''Emacs''' [http://www.cmake.org/CMakeDocs/cmake-mode.el combined syntax highlighting and indentation mode].  The current file in the repository doesn't behave very well if you try to run fill-paragrap (M-q) on comments.  This [[CMake Emacs mode patch for comment formatting|patched version]] written by Miguell A. Figueroa-Villanueva fixes it.  Hopefully the patch will make it into the tree someday. To enable it, add the following to your ''.emacs'' file:
 
<pre>
; Add cmake listfile names to the mode list.
(setq auto-mode-alist
  (append
  '(("CMakeLists\\.txt\\'" . cmake-mode))
  '(("\\.cmake\\'" . cmake-mode))
  auto-mode-alist))
 
(autoload 'cmake-mode "~/CMake/Docs/cmake-mode.el" t)
</pre>
 
* '''Enscript''' [http://tristancarel.com/pub/patches/enscript/cmake.st syntax highlighting rules]. To enable it:
*# copy <tt>cmake.st</tt> in the <tt>hl/</tt> directory.
*#add the following in the <tt>namerules</tt> section of the <tt>hl/enscript.st</tt> file:
 
<pre>
  /CMakeLists\.txt/              cmake;
  /\.cmake.*$/                    cmake;
  /\.ctest.*$/                    cmake;
</pre>
 
* '''[http://kate.kde.org Kate]''', '''KWrite''', '''[http://www.kdevelop.org KDevelop]''' and all other [http://www.kde.org KDE] applications, which use the kate text-editing component support cmake syntax highlighting since KDE 3.4.
 
* '''NEdit''' support was added by [http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2007-May/014267.html Philippe Poilbarbe]
 
* '''[http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm Notepad++]''' added CMake support in version 4.1
 
* '''[http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTEDownload.html SciTE]''' version 1.73 has CMake support. To enable the feature edit SciTEGlobal.Properties and remove the comment before the CMake lines.
 
* '''[http://www.macromates.com TextMate]''' is a wonderful text editor for OS X. [http://www.bluequartz.net/CMake.tmbundle.zip CMake Bundle]. This plugin adds syntax highlighting for CMake files.
 
* '''UltraEdit''', save the jpg as text: [[Image:wordfile.jpg]]
 
* '''VIM''' [http://www.cmake.org/CMakeDocs/cmake-syntax.vim syntax highlighting] and [http://www.cmake.org/CMakeDocs/cmake-indent.vim indentation mode]. To enable indentation, copy indentation file to your .vim/indent directory, syntax highlighting file to your .vim/syntax directory and add the following to your .vimrc:
 
<pre>
:autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.cmake,CMakeLists.txt,*.cmake.in runtime! indent/cmake.vim
:autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.cmake,CMakeLists.txt,*.cmake.in setf cmake
:autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.ctest,*.ctest.in setf cmake
</pre>
 
==Creating New Editor Mode==
 
The best way to start is to check the logic in existing ones. Make sure to enable indentation for files that match the following file names:
 
* CMakeLists.txt
* *.cmake
* *.cmake.in
* *.ctest
* *.ctest.in
