{{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].
 
* '''[http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/ Eclipse]''' There are two plugins for Eclipse:
** The [http://cmakeed.sourceforge.net CMakeEd] plugin for Eclipse provides syntax coloring and content assist for editing CMakeLists.txt and any file ending in a .cmake extension. It also integrates the CMake command reference documentation into the Eclipse Help system. This plugin does NOT do project management for you or generate CMake files for you. You are still responsible for this part. CMakeEd just makes writing the CMakeLists.txt files easier.
** The [http://www.cmakebuilder.com/ CMakeBuilder] plugin provides a user friendly interface to easily manage CMake-based projects, with the following features: advanced parser, Advanced CMake outline, CMakeBuilder perspective, symbol table and environment inspector, CMake files editor with syntax highlighting, code assist, wizard-oriented project management, Project Nature CMakeBuilder for CDT projects, and incremental project builders.
** '''[[Eclipse_CDT4_Generator|Here]]''' you find documentation how to use the Eclipse CDT project generator of CMake.
** '''[[CMake:Eclipse_UNIX_Tutorial|Here]]''' you find documentation how to use Eclipse with the regular Makefile generator of CMake (for versions < 2.6 of CMake).

*# 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:

* '''[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.sublimetext.com/ Sublime Text]''' Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose. You'll love the slick user interface, extraordinary features and amazing performance. CMake synatx support is provided through the [https://sublime.wbond.net/ Package Control] and the [https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/CMake CMake Package].
 
* '''[http://www.macromates.com TextMate]''' is a wonderful text editor for OS X. [http://www.bluequartz.net/binaries/CMake.tmbundle.zip CMake Bundle]. This plugin adds syntax highlighting for CMake files and rudimentary completion for command, properties and cmake variables.
 
* '''UltraEdit''' syntax highlighting  [http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/images/5/56/UltraEditWordfile.tar.gz word file.]
 
* '''VIM''' [http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob_plain;hb=master;f=Docs/cmake-syntax.vim syntax highlighting] and [http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob_plain;hb=master;f=Docs/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>
 
* '''Visual Studio 2010 Professional''' and above have two extensions available for editing CMake files.  [http://code.google.com/p/vissemee Vissemee] provides syntax highlighting for CMake.  [http://cmaketools.codeplex.com CMake Tools for Visual Studio] provides both syntax highlighting and IntelliSense for CMake.
 
==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
