I use Notepad++ to edit CMake files (though since I usually generate VS2013
solutions for developing, I sometimes get lazy and just use the VS editor to
make small changes, which now will definately happen more often 😊), and in
Cmake there is an extra orange color to ${VARNAME} type constructs, which
strike out all occurences of variable references.
With the lack of Intellisense in Notepad++, one cannot detect mistyping of
variable names, because it will highlight everything that is prefixed with a $
sign and followed by curly braces. Althought adding Intellisense for Cmake
language is well beyond the scope of a simple syntax highlighting add-in, as
much as a challange it would be, I think people would apreciate it. (At least I
would, if colors and squigglies could remind me that I mistyped a variable name)
Anyhow, if you open any CMakeLists.txt file in Notepad++ and see how much
variable colors help distinguish them from other code, you can decide for
yourself whether this is only my wish that it would also color those, or other
might find it useful as well. It’s just the cherry at the top. 😉 Generally the
Add-In rocks and is a great idea.

I generally stuck with the same syntax highlighting color conventions used by
Visual Studio itself. Are there other language constructs that you feel would
benefit from getting a color?

Excellent job. I have littlie knowledge of how syntax highlight additions can
be implemented in VS, but what was the design idea behind using so few colors?
Other than this, it is very useful and will be installed on all my machines. 😊
Cheers,

I just released version 1.1 of CMake Tools for Visual Studio. This release
includes support for Visual Studio 2013 and CMake 2.8.12, as well as a number
of smaller new features and bug fixes. It is available from the project web
site at http://cmaketools.codeplex.com. Enjoy!
