Maya script editor syntax highlight
By default, the Maya script editor doesn’t print in colors.
To quickly spot errors, the console should show:
- Red for errors, Yellow for warnings.
- Bonus: color variable names & functions.
Free¶
recommended: This free Maya script editor highlighter plugin
other great scripts, but not packaged up nicely or easy to install:
- maya_script_editor_highlighter recent, but uses usersetup.py
- ColorOut 2y old, simple, customizable, usersetup.py
- script editor WIP, 6y old
- logCatMaya 7y old, looks great though
Paid¶
recommended paid charcoal-editor-2 80$
You can avoid scripting in the Maya editor with an external IDE, but the console output is still often read in Maya.
