[QScintilla] Unable to add new keywords into already existing lexers.

[Sarbojit Sarkar]

Hi,
  I have started playing with QScintilla few days back and I am quite happy
to see broad range of already existing lexers. Now I have a requirement
where I am planning to add few keywords into existing lexer. By googling it
seems that I have to create a subclass and need to redefine "const char*
keywords(int set) const" function. I did that but did not observer any
change. Here is my code,

class myLex : public QsciLexerCPP
{
public:
    const char* keywords(int set) const;
};

const char* myLex::keywords(int set) const
{
    if (set == 1)
        return
            "and and_eq asm auto bitand bitor bool break case "
            "catch char class compl const const_cast continue "
            "default delete do double dynamic_cast else enum "
            "explicit export extern false float for friend goto if "
            "inline int long mutable namespace new not not_eq "
            "operator or or_eq private protected public register "
            "reinterpret_cast return short signed sizeof static "
            "static_cast struct switch template this throw true "
            "try typedef typeid typename union unsigned using "
            "virtual void volatile wchar_t while xor xor_eq"
            "mov";* // my new keyword*

    if (set == 3)
        return
            "a addindex addtogroup anchor arg attention author b "
            "brief bug c class code date def defgroup deprecated "
            "dontinclude e em endcode endhtmlonly endif "
            "endlatexonly endlink endverbatim enum example "
            "exception f$ f[ f] file fn hideinitializer "
            "htmlinclude htmlonly if image include ingroup "
            "internal invariant interface latexonly li line link "
            "mainpage name namespace nosubgrouping note overload "
            "p page par param post pre ref relates remarks return "
            "retval sa section see showinitializer since skip "
            "skipline struct subsection test throw todo typedef "
            "union until var verbatim verbinclude version warning "
            "weakgroup $ @ \\ & < > # { }";

    if (set == 16)
        return "mdef mend"; *// my new keywords*
    return 0;
}



Please let me know in case I have missed something.

Also I wanted to play with existing colour scheme that lexer is following.
wondering if it is possible.

Any help, link or suggestion will help a lot.

thanks
