Notepad-Plus-Plus Plus Erlang
My primary dev environment is Windows, my main IDE is Eclipse or Aptana (leaning slightly towards Aptana's flavour of Eclipse lately, especially for PHP and Ruby on Rails), and for quick code edits, messing about and text editing I use Notepad++.
Notepad++ has served me well over the years: it's free, loads up fast (unlike the big IDEs) and gets the job done. I know that there are quite a few alternatives (In Type looks particularly appealing), but NP++ does what I need nicely.
However, I was quite surprised and disappointed that there was no inbuilt support for my new favourite language: Erlang! A quick Google around revealed that I'd have to add a user defined language to my installation, less quick was tracking down an example file for Erlang. I eventually discovered this old mailing list post. I then built my own variation that suites dark backgrounds, you can download it below.
To install you will need to replace or merge with the *path-to-AppData*/Notepad++/userDefineLang.xml
file. If you don't use a dark background alter the WordStyle tag properties: fgColor and bgColor to suit.Download the userDefinedLang.xml
Let me know if you know of any better versions or edits, I'm sure mine is incomplete.
