# Editor modes & IDE integration for GF
We collect GF modes for various editors on this page. Contributions are welcome!
## Emacs
[gf.el](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-emacs-mode) by Johan
Bockgård provides syntax highlighting and automatic indentation and
lets you run the GF Shell in an emacs buffer. See installation
instructions inside.
## Atom
[language-gf](https://atom.io/packages/language-gf), by John J. Camilleri
## Visual Studio Code
* [Grammatical Framework Language Server](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=anka-213.gf-vscode) by Andreas Källberg.
This provides syntax highlighting and a client for the Grammatical Framework language server. Follow the installation instructions in the link.
* [Grammatical Framework](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GrammaticalFramework.gf-vscode) is a simpler extension
without any external dependencies which provides only syntax highlighting.
## Eclipse
[GF Eclipse Plugin](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-eclipse-plugin/), by John J. Camilleri
## Gedit
By John J. Camilleri
Copy the file below to
`~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/gf.lang` (under Ubuntu).
* [gf.lang](../src/tools/gf.lang)
Some helpful notes/links:
* The code is based heavily on the `haskell.lang` file which I found in
`/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/haskell.lang`.
* Ruslan Osmanov recommends
[registering your file extension as its own MIME type](http://osmanov-dev-notes.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-add-new-highlight-mode-in-gedit.html)
(see also [here](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingMimeTypes)),
however on my system the `.gf` extension was already registered
as a generic font (`application/x-tex-gf`) and I didn't want to risk
messing any of that up.
* This is a quick 5-minute job and might require some tweaking.
[The GtkSourceView language definition tutorial](http://developer.gnome.org/gtksourceview/stable/lang-tutorial.html)
is the place to start looking.
* Contributions are welcome!
## Geany
By John J. Camilleri
[Custom filetype](http://www.geany.org/manual/dev/index.html#custom-filetypes)
config files for syntax highlighting in [Geany](http://www.geany.org/).
For version 1.36 and above, copy one of the files below to
`/usr/share/geany/filedefs/filetypes.GF.conf` (under Ubuntu).
If you're using a version older than 1.36, copy the file to `/usr/share/geany/filetypes.GF.conf`.
You will need to manually create the file.
* [light-filetypes.GF.conf](../src/tools/light-filetypes.GF.conf)
* [dark-filetypes.GF.conf](../src/tools/dark-filetypes.GF.conf)
You will also need to edit the `filetype_extensions.conf` file and add the
following line somewhere:
```
GF=*.gf
```
