Feature Request : Editor Syntax Highlighting

[rajah]

I am beginning to fall in love with codelite. I used to use eclipse, but codelite is so much
lighter. I was wondering if I you can add more tags like
- enum
- typedef
- static variable
- global variable
- struct
- class
- functions
- Macros
to the syntax highlight setup? That would be very useful.

Thanks,
Rajah

Hi Eran,

I tried that and found that it colours all the different types I
mentioned in the same colour. I was wondering if you could
individually sent colours for each one of them (I think you
can do that in eclipse).

Thanks,
Rajah

It is limitation of scintilla, it provides me 5 diff of 'special keywords' 3 are used by default (for keywords, operators and I cant remember the third one) and I took advantage of the 2 last: 1 for workspace tags and 1 for local variables. So unless Scintilla will enhance it, I am afraid I cant do much about it (unless I will decide to dive into the LexCPP code...)

You may file a feature request at scintilla' project here: http://scintilla.org

Oh, I understand, I will add a request on scintilla.
Thanks Eran
