Pretty much what @elextr said - type names in Geany are obtained from ctags and then added to Scintilla as "keywords" so they get colorized but ctags cannot (and never will) provide the information where the given type is used so we won't be able to colorize the precise instances, just all of them. On the other hand, you get these from the LSP server from the "semantic token" call with exact ranges so these can then be colorized precisely (when `INDIC_TEXTFORE` colorization is enabled). -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3849#discussion_r1671819508 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
