SFZ syntax highlighting file for KATE
If you don't know what that it is, it makes the sfz come up in various colours (dependant on your colour scheme) for easier editing.
I have made one for KATE (text editor) available here with install instructions: https://www.pling.com/p/1840691/
Once installed, it will automatically work when you open a sfz file or save a new file as sfz.
I took the opcodes from the sfzformat.com website but omitted the cakewalk ones, as they were marked as deprecated. I am wanting to learn SFZ but figured it would be nicer with syntax highlighting, so learnt to do that first.
Here's what it looks like with the ayu dark theme
and with the default Breeze Light

Re: SFZ syntax highlighting file for KATE
I recently got some SFZ pianos (mentioned nearby) and wanted to change some settings, so I installed Kate and and your SFZ.xml,
and it makes a huge difference with your parameter highlighting, rather than seeing a wall of plain text!
A great idea, and well implemented. Thanks for sharing!
