That's quite impressive, really! Do you already have plans which of our
TODOs you'll implement next week? :)

some concrete feedback (all of this is pretty much on the surface, I
didn't do deeper tests for now):

- when you type something in the SQL view, the cursor vanishes as soon
  it is "colored". That is, during typing, the text is still red, and a
  second later, when it is properly colored, the cursor vanishes from
  the view. Though it re-appears when you continue typing, this is
  irritating.

- The bracket highlighting is a cool additional feature. It would win,
  IMO, if you would not only highlight the matching bracket, but also
  the one which you just entered. Might be a matter of taste, but this
  is how I know it from other editors.

- The default colors (e.g. light green on white for strings) are ...
  difficult :)

- Is it also possible to customize aspects of a font other than color?
  That is, would it be possible with the implementation to have bold
  keywords?

Other than that - I'm looking forward to see this feature in the final
product, thanks again for embarking upon this!

Ciao
Frank
