DuckyScript 3.0 Style Configuration Request
-
Would it be possible to add DuckyScript 3.0 as a style configuration? That would be awesome!

Style Configurator only has the coloring settings for languages that show up in the built-in portion of the Language menu. To add a brand-new language there is not a programming task that the developer has ever shown an interest in (and, in fact, the languages that are built-in are from pre-built library of Language syntax-highlighters – if you can convince the Scintilla project to add the DuckyScript syntax highlighter, then it would likely eventually make its way into Notepad++ … but that’s not likely to give you DuckyScript highlighting any time soon).
Fortunately, being aware that people would want to syntax-highlight languages that weren’t in the main list, the developer provided the User Defined Language (UDL) system, where you can define keywords and operator colorings for any language that you imagine. Admittedly, the generic UDL system is not quite as powerful as a custom syntax highlighter, but it is often good enough (especially when used in conjunction with the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin’s regex-based highlighting)

As @PeterJones says, you’ll need to use / define a User Defined Language (UDL). A quick Google turns up this:

I cannot confirm the veracity of the UDL download mentioned on that site - my IT blocks it. Proceed with caution.
Cheers.
