I get a ST crash by trying to use a recursive regex in an Indentation Rule:
<key>increaseIndentPattern</key>
<string>(?xi)
^ \s* where \s* \(([^()]|(?R))*\) \s* $
</string>
I know I should use \g, but I don’t think the whole application should crash.
I copied the JavaScript package from the git repo into ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/ and restarted ST3, but nothing seems to have changed (the JS symbol issue for example). Is there something else I need to do to get this to work?
If you put it in Packages/User/Javascript I think Sublime will pick it up automatically.
If you put it in Packages and if you type ctrl+shift+p then search for ‘set syntax: javascript’ you should see two entries (with the same name) one for the default Javascript syntax and the other for the one you pulled from the Git repo.
