The SublimeREPL plugin for ST supports lots of languages, but not all of them. It also supports writing your own configuration file for any non-default languages. Once you've written this configuration, is there any way to include it in a regular Sublime Text plugin so that when installed along with SublimeREPL it will work and support the desired language?
This turned out not to be so bad. What I wanted was to be able to distribute files in a package that would work with SublimeREPL without the user moving the files. All of the tutorials I found involved having the user place command and menu files in the SublimeREPL package directory.
Sublime Text doesn't care where it finds configuration files; they're all loaded no matter where in the packages directory they are found. Main.sublime-menu adds to the main menu and *.sublime-commands add commands.
First, fill in and rename Main.sublime-menu.template. Then do a Default.sublime-commands as well (couldn't find a template):
[
{
"caption": "SublimeREPL: XYZ Console",
"command": "run_existing_window_command", "args":
{
"id": "repl_xyz",
"file": "../XYZ-package/Main.sublime-menu"
}
}
]
The thing that was confusing me was how to refer to the menu file from the commands file, but it's simple; SublimeREPL uses the SublimeREPL as the working directory, so simply make a path from there to the menu file in your own package: ../XYZ-package/Main.sublime-menu.
Add these completed files to your package and they will work just fine with SublimeREPL.
