Overview

Sublime Text syntax definition for Forth. Should be suitable for any Forth which is standard-adjacent. Tested with GForth and VfxForth.

Installation

Package Control

  1. Get Package Control.
  2. Open the command palette: ⇧⌘P or ⇧P.
  3. Package Control: Install Package.
  4. Forth.

Manual

Clone the repo and symlink it to your Sublime packages directory. Example for MacOS:

git clone https://github.com/mitranim/sublime-forth.git
cd sublime-forth
ln -sf "$(pwd)" "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/Forth"

To find the packages directory on your system, use Sublime Text menu → Preferences → Browse Packages.

Build Systems

Doesn't come with a build system, because there are many Forth implementations. Here's how to define one for GForth:

{
  "selector": "source.forth",
  "cmd": ["gforth", "$file", "-e", "bye"],
}

Customization

There are almost as many Forth dialects as there are Forth users. Many do not adhere to any standard. Additionally, even in a “standard” Forth, it's easy to define new parsing words, which may need special syntactic support.

Therefore, you may need to customize this syntax appropriately for your dialect.

dir="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages/User"
mkdir -p "$dir/Forth"
touch "$dir/Forth/ForthX.sublime-syntax"

Open the resulting .sublime-syntax file and make it inherit from the “base” syntax:

%YAML 1.2
---
version: 2
scope: source.forth
extends: Packages/Forth/Forth.sublime-syntax
file_extensions: [f, fs, ft, fth]

# ... Add your overrides here.

You can then override variables, contexts, and so on. You do not need to copy-paste the rest of the syntax; only overrides need to be placed in the new file.
