By default, I want all my local variables and parameters to be final. I can configure the save action to add the 'final' keyword where possible (and that's what I did) but the result is source code in which the default case - fields and parameters are final - are emphasised through the 'final' keyword, and exceptions to the default are hard to see. Therefore, I'd like to have an option to automatically fold/hide the 'final' keyword on local variable and parameter declarations automatically folded, plus some kind of highlighting on declarations that don't have the 'final' keyword.
We'd first have to fix bug 114906. See also bug 63808.
Ideas: I'd like to have the option to simply see a "lock" icon instead of the letters "final", like this one:
Ok, so the other part of my comment got lost because i used a unicode char inside the comment. I meant this one: https://codepoints.net/U+1F512 And as another alternative an even simpler improvement: It's already possible to give "return" a different syntax coloring than other keywords. If I could change "final" color to not be the same as other keywords, too, i'd alrady be much happier, because i could give it a much less visible color.
