Re: [cdt-dev] RE: [dsdp-dd-dev] Editor technology subgroup
|
A really nice to have would be the feature to add new highlighting groups
and add keywords/regexp to highlight user definable codefragments.
e.g.
'group X' --> uchar, uword, ... --> Color: darkblue, Font: bold
'group UserTypes' --> S_* E_* --> Color: DarkOrange, Font: italic
where S_* will highlight e.g. all
typedef struct {
} S_MYSTRUCT; <--
typedef enum {
} E_MYENUM;
or
S_MYSTRUCT s_mystruct; <--
E_MYENUM e_myenum; <--
Also, would be cool, to e.g. change background of code fragments if they are
ifdef'd out.
e.g. #define ABC 1
#if defined(ABC)
#if (ABC == 0)
<... grey background start ...>
#define XYZ 2
<... grey background end ...>
#elif (ABC == 1)
<... normal background start ...>
#define XYZ 1
<... normal background end ...>
#else
<... grey background start ...>
#define XYZ 0
<... grey background end ...>
#endif
#endif
Of course highlighting/coloring shall be set by preferences.
