Sweet! I've changed some syntax highlighting colors, but I didn't realize the word def was in there too.

Is there a way to add highlighting to variables and escape sequences within a string? For example (perl):

print "My name is $name\n";

Where $name and/or \n are highlighted with a different color within a string. Also, I'm not at my computer, but many editors struggle with perl strings as they can be delimeted quite liberally, like qq~this~. I'll have to see if geany has some of those issues when I get a chance.

Maybe these are scintilla issues though?

Thanks for telling me word definitions are settable.

Steve

Personally I wish ctrl+left/right and double clicking would not include _ as word chars so I have the granularity I'm used to, even though I guess including underscore would be more correct for "words".

Could this be one of those tweakable miscilaneous properties so different people could set it how they like? (Like the "show scribble" checkbox, etc)


Hi Steven,

You can already tweak it since you can have edited entries in your personal filetypes.xxx which override the system ones.

Cheers
Lex
