Unfortunately Scintila which is the editing component used by Geany does not allow any distinction between types of operators. To add this you would have to edit the C++ code in Scintilla that parses the file for highlighting.
What I'd like to be able to do is have Geany UNindent a line that closes a statement in Lua .. i.e.
if x > 1 then y = 5 else y = 2 end -- automatically Unindent the 'end'
I know this can be done in Scintilla and SciTE has a set of properties that does this as well as some other editors that use scintilla but see no way to specify using certain keywords as such a do and end only the more standard operators like {} and (). Can this be done in Geany?
As usual, this just needs to be implemented. It's quite independent from Scintilla itself, this is pure application logic. I think this could be done in a plugin, maybe as component of the addons plugin.
Hey Enrico,
I guess that Geany can always ignore the fold info coming from the Scintilla lexer, but what would you propose as the algorithm. When to follow Scintilla and when to ignore it?
Cheers Lex
