> Does highlightnig methods have the same story or it is valid request? @Yanpas It would have to be a request to Scintilla project. The Python lexer can do this, but it might not be as easy for C++ lexer as Python uses `def` to define functions, where C++ is a lot harder. One vexing example, which I don't think can be determined without proper parsing of the code, is like:
```c++ static vartype varname(initval); static returntype funcname(argtype); ``` I'm sure there's many more examples to make distinguishing simple enough for a dumb lexer. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/876#issuecomment-173608864
