Creating your own syntax highlighting in GEdit?

by

GEdit uses GtkSourceView for its syntax highlighting. You should be able to find the c.lang file it uses to highlight C code by typing a command like this:

$ locate gtksourceview | grep /c.lang

Once you find the lang file, open it up in a text editor (it’s an XML file) and near the bottom you’ll see a list of keywords which you should be able to add printf to.
