Guest Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hello,I do not like to see a disabled code in the same color as the comments.I am looking for a way to display disabled code in a gray color in SciTE but I didn't found how to do it.If I could, for example, set that everything after ";;" will be show in gray color then this will do the trick. Is there such a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) "commented out code" is disabled code.But I want it to be displayed in a different color from green and I want it only for disabled code.Is it possible to set gray color for ";~" so everything after ";~" will be gray while everything after ";" will be green?

I think it's a great idea(Different color for ";~" and different color for ";").Is there key shortcut (like Ctrl+Q for ';~') for #CS (#comments-start) and #CE (#comments-end) ?I would love to know the keyboard shortcut for this if exist.

BrewManNH Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 CTRL-SHIFT-Q will give you the #CS and #CE.

nitekram Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Any line starting with a Semicolon is a comment line, hence shown with the comment line color.The comment blocks have their own color setting.Jos May I ask where you see the difference in color? It appears the same to me, unless I use #CE to start the line, then it appear to be a different color, but once I change that to #CS, it goes back to the same color as using the semicolon. If it is something I can change, I would like to, but have never diverted from the defaults, except for recently when I changed the way it comments errors in the script...I removed that, as I was having issues with Ctrl T (tidy) removing the remarks.

Guest Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) PS...I actually like the idea, but understand that it can be a pain to make changesI think I should open a poll for this and If we will see that many want it then maybe he will decide to work on it even though it's big deal. I think it's worth to develop it but this is my personal opinion.In addition, I am aware of the alternative - #CE , #CSBut the drawback is that it add 2 extra lines.This drawback does not sound serious, but it is. This example easily show why and when it's serious:With #CE , #CS: And my idea: That's what I tried to say in my previous post - post 9 (about the second benefit) Edited October 23, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
