Syntax Scheme Editor

The syntax scheme editor allows you to create your own coloring schemes. It also allows you to customize existing coloring schemes.

NOTE!
Changes made with the editor are irreversible. Therefore, when editing the schema, save it to a new file if possible, leaving the original schema unchanged!

The editor window consists of the following areas:

Scheme selection
Allows you to create, open and save coloring schemes.

Syntax blocks, Styles
Allows the creation and modification of syntax blocks and style settings. Use the'Style Properties' window to edit and create styles.

Settings area:

  • Blocks - general block settings
  • Comment - settings for recognising and coloring comments
  • Character strings - settings for character strings
  • Numbers - Number coloring settings
  • Identifiers - identifier coloring settings, definitions of characters allowed in colored keywords
  • Keywords - collections of keywords

Preview of the coloring scheme
A window for entering text in which you can keep track of syntax coloring changes made to the schema.

By default, this window is called up using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F8, from the Tools menu using the button shown opposite, or from the 'program Settings' window.
