lox-mode

An Emacs major mode for the Lox programming language.

(Note that this mode requires Emacs version 24.3 (or higher)).

Installation

Manual

Clone this project to a directory of your choice, and add the following lines to your Emacs init file:

  (unless (version< emacs-version "24")
    (add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/lox-mode/directory")
    (autoload 'lox-mode "lox-mode" nil t)
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.lox\'" . lox-mode)))

Melpa

The package is also available on MELPA and MELPA.

You can install the package using the usual methods you employ to install such packages. To install manually from MELPA or MELPA STABLE:

  M-x package-refresh-contents

followed by:

  M-x package-install RET lox-mode

Usage

Open a .lox script in a buffer - syntax highlighting and indentation should be automatically applied.

Run the currently loaded Lox script with: C-c C-r.

Alternatively, you can also run the script using the "interactive" mode command like so: M-x lox-run.

Note: the default executable for Lox is assumed to be clox. However, if you wish to change this to jlox (or any other custom value, you can do that by invoking: M-x customize-mode).
