[OSX | Coda Addon] - LUA-Highlighting for Panic's Coda

[Gruni]

Hey hey, guys. Since I started learning LUA today, I looked for a good editor for OSX. No luck at all. So I decided to make an LUA-Highlighting-Addon for my beloved Coda (http://www.panic.com). It's not perfect... It supports the most basic LUA-Functions and some constants and parts of the Löve-Environment. Right now, there is no support for the "hints". That may come later... but for now, it's really cool to work with. I löve it. Have fun with it.

Instructions:
- Download
- Unzip
- Put the folder called "LUA.mode" into /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/Coda/Modes/
- (re)start Coda (if it's already running)
- Have fun with Coda supporting LUA-Syntax.

It's based on Perl.mode since that was the thing that looked most logical to me.

Feedback and "Feature-Support" is welcome.

ToDo:[b/]
- Add Löve2D-Specific functions (As you can see on the screenshot, setFont is recognized as a "known" function (purple), but newImage isn't (blue). I will fix this within the next couple of days....
- Add Hint- and Documentation-Support

Old topic, but posting because this is so incredibly useful

One thing that bugs me is the lack of --[[]] comment support, but apart from that, perfection! Been looking for a coda Lua mode for _AGES_

There's also this, which is for Xcode 3. It's got no LÖVE-specific highlighting, though.

I just use TextWrangler. It color codes all kinds of code types.

Next year (*g*) I'll take a look at that and try to fix this. Any other things not working correctly?
