SubEthaEdit Modes

When I started using SubEthaEdit seriously, I realized that I wanted to have more than the default modes that shipped with the editor. The Coding Monkeys have a page where you can download some of the modes they have written, as well as quite a few that are user-submitted. I downloaded the Fortran modes as well as the Makefile mode and gave them a spin.

Fortran 77

The Fortran 77 mode was pretty decent, but there were several problems in the coding of the numbers, and the colorization wasn't what I would have hoped for - too similar. I submitted bugs to the Coding Monkeys bug tracker, but then realized that I had everything I needed to fix it myself. So I went to work on modifying the mode package to fix these issues.

The result looks like this:

and is available for download for anyone to use.

Makefile

The Makefile mode was fairly broken due to a parsing characters problem. I'm not sure if this was working in version 2.x of SubEthaEdit, but certainly in 3.0.1 it wasn't. I had to fix that and then expanded the keywords support to colorize the makefiles a lot more like what Vim has, and I really like.
