G-Code_Norm3 Notepad++ Language for Marlin 2.0 G-Codes XML File Upgrade
While working with Marlin 2.0 Firmware and G-Code files in Notepad ++ I noticed there wasn’t a built-in language for G Code and that Google wasn’t helping much either. The few files I did find online weren’t complete enough and didn’t help me much so I started over from scratch to build a decent G-Code XML language file using Marlin’s Website and Notepad++ of course.
If you’ve ever wished that Marlin’s K-factor Calibration Pattern Generator had a few more configurable options but aren’t the webmaster either then you’ve come to the right place. You might want Notepad Plus Plus to Highlight G Codes and important text like Marlin and Norm3.com in a sophisticated and intuitive way so you can edit Marlin G-Code all day.
The G-Codes are Color-Coded into 8 Different Groups that seemed logical to group together in their particular colors strictly for aesthetic purposes after consulting the Marlin website, source code, and machine operations while properly medicated according to State Law.
How to Install a Notepad++ Language File:
Open Notepad++ and Open the “Language” menu on the top and go almost all the way down to the “User Defined Language” sub-menu and click the “Define your language…” option. Hopefully the Notepad++ “User Defined Language” dialog box should appear as shown below:
Click the “Import” button then navigate to the XML language file you want to import which in my case is the G-Code_Norm3 User Defined Language XML file. I downloaded it from Right here where I Left the download link below ahead of time: Right?
G-Code_Norm3 XML Download:
Right Click the download link above and select “Save link as…” and then save the file to your Downloads folder.
Once you’ve imported the language by clicking the “Open” button it won’t seem like anything happened. This is Normal as Notepad Plus Plus has one more step to do. Close the User Defined Language dialog box and then Close Notepad++ so Notepad Plus Plus can rebuild the User Defined Language list when opening. The next time you Open Notepad Plus Plus the G-Code_Norm3 language should appear towards the bottom of the “Language” menu list but you shouldn’t need to select it manually if you’re opening a file with a .gcode file extension.
Now, When you Open a “.gcode” file with Notepad++ it should automatically activate the G-Code_Norm3 User Defined Language and begin trying to highlight the entire file. It might take Notepad++ a few seconds to load and highlight larger G-Code files over a Megabyte.
Text List of G-Codes:
I started with a list of all the G-Codes so I could see how the Marlin G-Code_Norm3 Notepad++ Language will display every G Code. Want to see how it looks or improve it? Then download and open this special .gcode file in Notepad Plus Plus: (After G-Code_Norm3 Upgrade)
List of Marlin G-Codes:
Right click the download link above and select “Save link as…” and then save the file to your “Downloads” folder. This optional file should contain a list of all the G-Codes possible in the Marlin 2.0 3D Printer Firmware. Obviously you wouldn’t want to attempt to “print” this special .gcode file on any 3D printer because bad things could happen including but not limited to fire and death. It’s only for Notepad Plus Plus.
The .gcode file also contains a Copy and Paste of the G-Code_Norm3 Keywords Lists at the bottom. You could build your own custom User Defined Notepad++ Language with just the .gcode file above, but most users find it easier to Import an XML file rather than Copy and Paste a bunch of text into fields.
Source Text:
Some users love to Copy and Paste or are paranoid about downloading unknown files from the internet or are using a “special” computer then this next section of code text embedded below is for you:
