Cadence Skill Syntax Highlighting in Notepad++

I spent many hours trying to get back my original coding environment, then i realized I want to save everyone some serious headache 

Long Story short

If you need syntax highlighting and use the function list option in Notepad++ Do the following

Install the latest build of notepad++

FunctionList.xml - place it on  %APPDATA%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\ - used for the functionlist window on notepad++

userDefineLang.xml - Place it on  %APPDATA%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\ - used to highlight the syntax

skill.api - Place it on %APPDATA%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\ - used for auto complete

myDark.xml place it on  %APPDATA%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes\ - mine you can use it to tune it to your taste

Notepad++.zip

Another recommendation is install and use Subversion/Tortoise SVN and commit as often as you can 

Have Fun

Regards

Venkata
