Yes, I know about <SHIFT>-<CTRL>-B but that's ugly-ish.
What I'd like to request is a automatic paired-bracket color
highlighting in a manner similar to what Notepad++ does (which, if
you haven't used it, colors a bracket next to the cursor and its
matching pair). While it's nice to get that quickie highlighting
while typing a line of code, in general it's a lot more useful to
get a highlighting while eding code blocks.
Just to understand - we do already highlight the matching bracket
when you move the cursor over/next to a bracket/paren. So is your
suggestion to make that highlighting longer/permanent as opposed to
flashing?
Thanks, Simon
Well, actually, on R 3.0.2 GUI 1.62 Snow Leopard build (6558) I don't
get any response to a hovering pointer! I get a very brief highlight if
I pass the cursor "across" a bracket using the arrow keys. If I move
the mouse pointer and click at a location to place the cursor there, no
highlighting.
But, yes, what I'm requesting is for the bracket pair to stay
highlighted as long as the cursor (not the mouse pointer) is situated
next to a bracket.
ciao,
Carl
