Recently I've been developing a plugin for Notepad++ that would include language support for an implementation of Lua that is used in a game called Garry's Mod. I've been able to register the lexer with Scintilla, inject a menu item to select the lexer into the language bar. Unfortunately, even though Scintilla supports external lexers, Notepad++ does not (as far as I can tell) and because of this there are many conflicts that change the language back to another language randomly. Are there any plans to integrate Scintilla's external lexer system into the current Notepad++ system? If not, do you have a make-shift system that currently works? The reason I ask is because I plan to give the language plugin to some of my friends and I want forward compatibility with later versions of scintilla and notepad++. Also, I'm willing to edit notepad++ to include the support myself if I can, though I'm not familiar with the policy of getting changes integrated into the release package.
