Need more BracketChars settings in .syn files..

Post by FireEgl »

I program in Tcl, and the BracketChars for Tcl are {} [] and (). Of course they all have different meanings.. And it's really confusing when they're all the same color and grouped together on the same line. I would like if there were other BracketChars settings in the .syn files.. For example I'd want to do:

BracketChars = {}
BracketChars2 = []
BracketChars3 = ()

That way, I can have them in different colors.

Thanks,
Philip

What about Keywords

Its just a small idea:

set one kind of bracket as bracket chars and define the other in two different keyword classes:

BracktChars= []
...

[Keywords 3]
()

[Keywords 3]
{}

Your suggestion doesn't work in TextPad.. You must'a been thinking of another editor that that would work on.. (whose name I won't mention here.. =)
