How to setup a predefined lexer (Text IMproved)?

[skarsgal]

Hi,
I tried to add inside 'user.json' file the lexer 'Text IMproved' for save text files with default .txt extension.
(I have take the name from '\CudaText\data\lexlib\Text IMproved.lcf'
I have see Your example in Wiki at 'File types config', then I have validate user.json edited on JSONLint https://jsonlint.com/.
But it do not works.
Do You can help me?

Here is my user.json modified:

Code: Select all

{
"detect": [ 
      {"*.txt":  "Text IMproved"},
	  {"*.ini":  "Ini files"},
      {"*.bat":  "Batch files"},
 
{
  "ui_lexer_themes" : false
}
]
}

Thanks in advance

You followed the wiki wrong. see the wiki--

Code: Select all

  "detect": {
    "*.mht": "HTML",
    "myconfig.conf": "Nginx",
    ".profile": "Bash script",
  },

here I missed the entire {} brackets at the file edges.
see your file- different brackets, wrong square brackets, wrong {} brackets.

I had already tried your example on JSONLint, but the site answer me:

Error: Parse error on line 1:
"detect": { "*.mht": "HTM
----------^
Expecting 'EOF', '}', ',', ']', got ':'

.. and I do not know where and how put EOF in this script.

Do You can correct my user.json file?

Should be like this

Code: Select all

{
  "detect": {
    "*.txt":  "Text IMproved",
    "*.ini":  "Ini files"
    },
  "ui_lexer_themes" : false
}
