This issue is base on a user comment in netbeansphp blog: http://blogs.sun.com/netbeansphp/entry/semantic_coloring_improved#comment-1216683561000 It would be nice to add highlighting whole ()?():() block (I mean the three brackets pairs of the "current" block) like in this example function fWhatever ($a, $b) { return ($a > $b)?(($a < $b)?($a-$b):($b-$a)):(($a == 2)?($b):("("$a == $b")"?"("$a")":"("$b|")")); } // | == cursor position, "(" && ")" == highlighted brackets I tent to use short ifs and it would help a lot in codes that require more complexity. :) Also higlighting the brackets in a way raymond wrote would add another aspeckt of usefulness ;) It would be "I always know where I am" - without searching those brackets to place cursor after them and see which one is yellow/(w/e color suits you ;) )
Just to have "raymond's way" also in here: http://blogs.sun.com/netbeansphp/entry/semantic_coloring_improved#comment-1216649603000 Hello, How about highlighting the parenthesis then the cursor place between them? example function "("$name,$age|,$color")" {} // when cursor is inside represented by "|" then // the outer brackets will be highlighted represented by "(" and ")" The same can be applied for {} brackets function ($name,$age,$color) "{" // some code here $name[] = $name;| // <- cursor here "}" ------end of raymond's comment----- What I thought a minute ago is highlighting double quoted and single quoted strings "string" and 'string' - it would be nice to have an option to gave those strings different highlight colors... Well... I'll just make new issue about that ;) -- It can be found here: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=141435
