This is a promising new editor with a built-in terminal. Click on compile errors in the terminal and it takes you to the offending line in your code, for example. This is the most Mac-native look I've seen for a Qt application--very impressive. But two-finger scrolling in the file browser scrolls too slowly, and two-finger scrolling in code is (I think) too fast. And why can't Qt apps ever see Command-W? But these are nitpicking. If Pacu gets Ada and Pascal and Matlab/Octave syntax coloring I'll be even happier with it.

I just release Pacu 1.2.3 and it now supports Octave syntax highlighting.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work; there's an error in how it's linked. The following command fixes it:

install_name_tool -change /Users/frank/Work/libPONA_release64_leopard/build/libpona.0.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/libpona.0.dylib /Pacu.app/Contents/Frameworks/libvide.0.dylib

Once that's done, the application loads just fine, but unfortunately, there isn't much too see. For instance, you can't customise the colourisation.

Thank you very much for pointing out this issue.
I fixed my build scripts accordingly.
My sincere apologies for pushing upstream a broken bundle.
Regarding improved syntax highlighting: I'm working on it!
If you feel there is something else missing, please let me know.
