Standard Header Highlighting

(1/4) > >>

Roman:
Dear guys!

The C++ standard library is a great place to learn good programming techniques. Because of that I often use "open #include fie 'streambuf'" command in the rightclick menu. But <streambuf> has no extension and C::B doesn't use appropriate syntax highlighting scheme. So my suggestion is to 'hardcode' the names of new style standard C++ library header files so they will be highlighted as C++ by default.

Best Regards,
Roman

another way would give users the option to change the lexer of any open editor (a la Scite)

When travelling from top to <ios> content I usually use Edit->Highlight mode but it would be more comfortable not to do so )

Hmm, interesting. When I open a standard C++ header with no file extension, there is no syntax highlighting.
Edit->Highlight mode shows the list with C/C++ selected. Reselecting C/C++ or closing the menu has no effect.

However, if I Edit->Highlight mode and select, say, Batch, highlighting appears.
Then I can Edit->Highlight mode and select C/C++ and get the desired syntax highlighting.

This does not seem correct. Am I missing a refresh command or something?
