jacobono / emacs-gradle-mode Goto Github PK

I have just discovered this repository, as it's grails-mode has entered MELPA. There is also
https://github.com/russel/Emacs-Groovy-Mode the groovy-mode of which is in MELPA, but the grails-mode of which was never picked up. Given E-Lisp activity in the Groovy/Grails community is strictly limited and it would be best to focus where the activity is, should this repository become the new focus of all Groovy Emacs activity?

I don't care about launching or connecting to gradle from Emacs, I just want to edit *.gradle files and have basic syntax highlighting. Could there be a major mode for doing this?

I have been trying to get this to work for a couple of days now with no luck. It looks like locate-dominating-file is not supported anymore! I tried porting it from other sources with no luck!

C-g is supposed to be reserved for quitting an interaction with emacs. Binding it in a key sequence causes at least these issues:

• C-h k doesn't work for any such key bindings
• Sometimes pressing the key sequence fails with a bizarre C-c C-g <mouse-movement> is undefined error in the modeline. (This should not be possible, because mouse movements are usually ignored, but somehow it's happening.)

Can you change the standard keybinding to something more compatible?
