Hi everybody,
I have a problem which is more of an aesthetic nature but it would still be nice to find an answer. I am usually using root on a Linux machine where I use kdevelop. This is very nice, since it knows all the root classes and therefore colors them etc (like a TLorentzVector being shown bold and colored).
But on my Mac all the IDE (I am using CLion, Emacs and Xcode) just highlight the C classes as I am looking at an .cpp file. Is there any way of changing that (differently expressed, how does kdevelop recognize the root classes)?
Thanks
Emil

If you prefer rather to tune your current text editor, you can probably add ‘by hand’ custom syntax highlighting fields by defining some ROOT classes as custom keywords.
For example:
Or if you want to use Geany, then I can spare your work and share the one I use:
