• Set indent size to 4, with no tab. (except for editing Makefiles)
• Restore last session and window position.

Requirements

• Operating system: *nix (SciTE properties are installed in /usr/share/scite/) or Windows
• Font: Inconsolata or Consolas (Windows)

Installation

$ make install

This will copy the existing configuration in properties/ to the system location (/usr/share/scite/).

Walkthrough

• new/ is where you make your own changes.
• old/ is the "vanilla" (unmodified) SciTE properties.
• patches/ stores the generated .patch files. It should NEVER be modified by a human.
• properties/ stores the generated SciTE properties to be finally used. It should NEVER be modified by a human.

Update configuration

Copy the vanilla (unmodified) properties into old/.

Make your changes in new/. Then:

$ make patches

This will generate some .patch files in patches/.

To install them to the system, execute:

$ make upgrade

Other commands

$ ./extract_properties.sh scite-3.3.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

This will extract the vanilla (unmodified) properties into properties/.

$ ./patch_properties.sh

This will apply the patches in patches/ on properties/.

$ ./copy_properties.sh

The same as make install.
