Gtk/Gnome text editors typically use a common library component called [http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/ GtkSourceView] which means that adding Cobra language support for it enhances multiple applications. If you are specifically using [http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit/ gedit], they have a [http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/NewLanguage NewLanguage] wiki page with instructions. Also, note that gedit is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

You can add a "cobra.lang" file to enable syntax highlighting. Under Windows:

 * Windows XP: %userprofile%\My Documents\gtksourceview-2.0\language-specs\
 * Windows Vista/7: %userprofile%\Documents\gtksourceview-2.0\language-specs\
 * It can be also be placed in %programfiles%\gedit\share\gtksourceview-2.0\language-specs\ but for security reasons the OS will throw any modified data into a virtualized directory. For example, that might be %userprofile%\!AppData\Local\!VirtualStore\...

Under Mac, Linux and other UnixLike systems, put "cobra.lang" in '''(root)/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs''' where '''(root)''' is one of:
 * ~/.local
 * /opt
 * /usr/local
 * /usr

Editors that use !GtkSourceView:
 * [http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/ gedit]
 * [http://scribes.sourceforge.net/ scribes]
