Description Mike Milinkovich

I would like to be able to edit my Arduino sketches with Orion, and would like to have syntax coloring in the editor. 

Arduino sketches typically have a ".ino" file extension. How could I go about configuring the CodeMirror plug-in to use C syntax coloring for files with a .ino file extension?

Are those file actually "C" code or "C" like?  We can add it in by default to Orion with our own syntax colouring.

Yes, the contents of a .ino file is C. From the Arduino FAQ (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/FAQ)

Can I program the Arduino board in C?

In fact, you already are; the Arduino language is merely a set of C/C++ functions that can be called from your code. Your sketch undergoes minor changes (e.g. automatic generation of function prototypes) and then is passed directly to a C/C++ compiler (avr-g++). All standard C and C++ constructs supported by avr-g++ should work in Arduino. For more details, see the page on the Arduino build process.

I just submitted a PR to the orion-codemirror project to add .ino to the list of supported C-like extensions. 

Mike, just help yourself and install the patched plugin if you want :) http://benjamin-cabe.com/orion-codemirror/codeMirrorPlugin.html
