Hi LAMMPS community,

I haven’t seen any kate text editor installation guide. It took me a while to figure out what to do, so I hope this email will help whoever would like to use kate syntax highlighting in tools/kate/ that comes along with lammps

  1. copy the tools/kate/lammps.xml to /usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/ (in ubuntu)

  2. in Kate, go to Settings > Configure Kate… > Applications > Plugins > check both XML Completion and XML Validation box

  3. require input with specific extensions (line 17 in tools/kate/lammps.xml)
    “.lgg;.lmp;.lammps;.liggghts”

  4. reboot your computer if necessary

Cheers,
Anh

along with lammps

1. copy the tools/kate/lammps.xml
to /usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/ (in ubuntu)

You can copy lammps.xml to '$HOME/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/' to avoid messing with '/usr' .and|or you're the only user.

2. in Kate, go to Settings > Configure Kate... > Applications > Plugins
> check both XML Completion and XML Validation box

3. require input with specific extensions (line 17 in tools/kate/lammps.xml)
"*.lgg;*.lmp;*.lammps;*.liggghts"

4. reboot your computer if necessary

No need to, at most close kate/kwrite and open back.
