Ship tools/editor-support/bat/WAFER.sublime-syntax so any bat user (including oked, which probes bat first) renders .fth files with proper keyword colouring, including the WAFER extras CONSOLIDATE, RANDOM, RND-SEED, and UTIME. Keyword list derives from register_primitive/register_host_primitive calls in crates/core/src/outer.rs plus the boot.fth definitions. Internal underscore-prefixed words are deliberately omitted. Install with `just install-syntax`.
Editor support for WAFER
Syntax highlighting assets for editors and pagers.
bat (and other Sublime-Text-compatible tools)
bat/WAFER.sublime-syntax is a Sublime Text grammar covering Forth 2012 plus
WAFER-specific words (CONSOLIDATE, RANDOM, RND-SEED, UTIME).
Install
just install-syntax
or manually:
mkdir -p ~/.config/bat/syntaxes
cp tools/editor-support/bat/WAFER.sublime-syntax ~/.config/bat/syntaxes/
bat cache --build
Verify
bat --list-languages | grep -i forth # should list Forth
bat --language forth crates/core/boot.fth # should render with colour
Use with oked
oked auto-detects .fth / .4th / .forth files and invokes bat with
--language forth. After the install step above, opening any WAFER source in
oked and toggling highlight (H command, or oked -S forth) will use this
syntax.
Updating the keyword list
Primitives live in crates/core/src/outer.rs (register_primitive and
register_host_primitive calls). When a new user-facing, non-standard word
is added, append it to the wafer_extras context in
bat/WAFER.sublime-syntax. Standard Forth 2012 words are already covered by
the main contexts.
Internal symbols (names that start with _) should not be added — they are
implementation details that user code never types.
