DONE: ability to change highlight/style of unmatched brace

[crtrubshaw]

Hi Rickard.

I posted a question how to do this but no-one knows the answer, so I guess maybe it's not possible. Please can you look into adding this functionality?

Many thanks.

Nice idea.

The foreground and background color for unmatched braces can be changed in the next release (v15.85).
Thanks!

Thanks Rickard, I got the v15.85 update and it doesn't seem to be working correctly, specifically the foreground colour doesn't get applied.

FWIW it works for me alright.

I noticed only opening unmatched bracket is highlighted; is it by design?

With option to highlight surrounding braces, the background thread first try to find an opening bracket, then find a closing one. If you remove the opening bracket - the thread will find another opening bracket further up in your code and match that one with a closing bracket. So yes, it's by design

And if it doesn't find it?

Code: Select all

<?php

The bracket in the code above is unmatched, yet not treated as such. Please notice I'm not saying it is necessarily a bad thing; I have no opinion -- my brackets are usually matched

If it only works highlighting opening braces without a closing brace, so be it, but it still does not apply the selected foreground colour on unmatched opening braces (for me at least).

Hi Rickard, the colouring just isn't being applied for me, can you think of any settings which might be stopping it from working?

Thank you.

Any ideas? In my previous post, the opening brace is missing but the highlight is not being applied?

Thanks.

[Rickard Johansson]

I'm a bit occupied with other things at the moment, but I'll see if I can fix it in next release (v15.90).

[Rickard Johansson]

I can't reproduce this or see anything that would cause this, unless you've modified the syntax file.

I did make a small improvement to use the error foreground color as font color with all options (underline, frame...).

That was for All Languages, I'll try setting it per language...
