How do I turn off syntax highlighting in micro text editor?

I have recently started using micro text editor. I would like to turn off syntax highlighting completely.

According to the micro documentation, I can create my own syntax configuration file in ~/.config/micro/syntax. I tried to create a syntax file to turn it off, but it did not work well. I also tried to change settings.json at ~/.config/micro but nothing worked.

How do I create a syntax file that turns off syntax highlighting compeletly?

Solution

  • Press Ctrl+E and type set syntax off to turn off highlighting.

    Later you can do set syntax on if you have changed your mind.
