Editing Curry programs

Of course, one can use any text editor to write and modify Curry programs. However, for some editors (listed below), there exist specific modes to edit or highlight Curry programs.

The distributions of the Curry systems PAKCS and KiCS2 contain (in the directory tools/emacs) a Curry mode (adapted from a Haskell mode) for the editor Emacs. The installation and usage is described in the distributed README file.

The Kate editor contains syntax highlighting for Curry programs. This mode can be acticated by Kate's download mechanism. To do this, start Kate and go to

  Setting
    -> Configure Kate ...
        -> Open/Save
             -> Modes & Filetypes
                 -> Download Highlighting Files ...

In the dialog, just select Curry (it not already selected), click Install and wait for the installation to finish. You must restart Kate for the installation to take effect.
