Hi,

I was just thinking (while working on some annoying Javascript...)

Would it be possible to make SciTE highlight corresponding quotation marks (like it does with brackets) and also ignore the escaped ones?

It seems to me like they aren't really the same (or even that similar) case... with bracketing syntactic constructs, you often have no way within the SciTE environment of seeing where the limits/boundaries are.

With most implementations of string literals, OTOH, you can always check the lexical extent of a given string by removing/adding an endpoint, and then the syntax coloring will "explain" things. ;)

I agree syntax highlighting is a wonderful solution, however I would find it occasionally helpful to be able to use ctrl+m to jump to beginning and end quotes. I happen to get around this by having some lua commands to select the string and then arrow right or left depending on my needs.

All in all it would be nice, but I don't think its of the utmost importance.
