GDScript mode for Emacs

This package adds support for the GDScript programming language from the Godot game engine in Emacs. It gives syntax highlighting and indentations. Contributors are welcome!

Features

This mode already features all the essentials:

Syntax highlighting.
Code folding.
Imenu.
Support for scenes (.tscn) and script (.gd) files.
Comment wrapping when using fill-paragraph.
Indentation and auto-indentation: tab-based (default) and space-based.
Automatic pairing of parentheses, brackets, etc.
Code formatting using gdformat.
Auto-completion for all the keywords in the gdscript-keywords.el file.

Contributing

Contributors are welcome! Check the issues tab for tasks to work on and open a PR anytime.

If you find a bug, or would like to suggest an improvement, open a new issue.

For code style, we follow the Emacs lisp style guide by Bozhidar Batsov, and the tips and conventions from the Emacs manual.

You should also check for errors and linter warnings in your code, e.g. with flymake or flycheck.

How to install

As it is in development, the package is not available yet on Emacs package managers.

To install it:

Clone the repository to your computer.
In your init.el file, add a call to load and require the package.

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/gdscript-mode.el")
(require 'gdscript-mode)

Installing in Spacemacs

Clone the repository to the private/local subdirectory of your .emacs.d directory, where you installed spacemacs.
Add the package to the dotspacemacs-additional-packages and mark it as local. That's Spacemacs' feature to make it easy to load locally installed packages.

dotspacemacs-additional-packages '((gdscript-mode :location local))

In your dotspacemacs/user-config function, require the package.

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
  (require 'gdscript-mode))

Installing in Doom Emacs

Add the following package definition to your .doom.d/packages.el file:

(package! gdscript-mode
          :recipe (:host github
                   :repo "GDQuest/emacs-gdscript-mode"))

Require the package in your .doom.d/config.el file:

(require 'gdscript-mode)

Installing with `use-package` + `straight.el`

Add the call to use-package to your Emacs configuration:

(use-package gdscript-mode
    :straight (gdscript-mode
               :type git
               :host github
               :repo "GDQuest/emacs-gdscript-mode"))

Formatting with gdformat

You can call the gdscript-format function to format the current buffer with gdformat. This feature requires the python package gdtoolkit to be installed and available on the system's PATH variable.

You can install gdtoolkit using the pip package manager from Python 3. Run this command in your shell to install it:

pip3 install gdtoolkit

Customization

Set the following variables to customize gdscript-mode:

(setq gdscript-tabs-mode t) ;; If true, use tabs for indents. Default: t
(setq gdscript-tab-width 4) ;; Controls the width of tab-based indents
