description

Vim C extension syntax files for various libraries, mostly GTK+-related. It can be used as a replacement of gtk-vim-syntax (vimscript #1000) and might be seen as its successor, at least in spirit. However, the set of libraries and extraction method differ. The syntax files are generated from gobject-introspection (https://gi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) GIR files (with a few manual additions). Keyword types can differ from gtk-vim-syntax (e.g. Function vs. Macro). There is no mechanism for highlighting deprecated symbols differently. The package includes the extraction script. It can be used to generate newer versions or completely new syntax files from other GIR files. At present it contains the following syntax files: atk.vim babl.vim cairo.vim fftw3.vim gdkpixbuf.vim gegl.vim glib.vim graphene.vim gtk2.vim gtk3.vim gtk4.vim gtksourceview2.vim gtksourceview3.vim jsonglib.vim librsvg.vim libxml2.vim pango.vim vulkan.vim xlib.vim
