TDB Highlighter For CotEditor

Introduction | Installation | Examples

Introduction

The CotEditor is a very lightweight native editor for macOS written in Swift, which I use to quickly look-up and edit files with syntax highlighting but without the overhead of a full IDE.

It is a free, open-source software, and super fast to get started with. There is a one-click install available through the Mac App Store and on GitHub.

Installation

Adding the TDB highlighter to CotEditor is easy too! Simply:

1. Download the TBD.yml file from this folder.
2. Open CotEditor and go to Settings > Format. Then, at the bottom of Avaialble syntaxes: list, click the (...) to open the dropdown menu, and finally click Import....
3. Select the TBD.yml, click Import, and you're done! Now, every time you open a .tbd/.TDB file, it will be syntax highlighted.

Examples

Note: Works very well with most themes. We recommended either one of the 5 examples below, as well as Dendrobates Light, Dentrobates Dark, Printen, Resinifictrix, and Pulse. Subpar results are produced with Mono, Kawazu, Lakritz, Classic, thus these are not recommended.
