Syntax highlihting for method and class uses #119

Open negora opened 7 years ago

negora commented 7 years ago

In NetBeans, when we configure the syntax highlighting for Java source code, we've a long list of elements to choose from. Among them all, there are two that I consider very useful: Method Use and Class Use.

The first one is specially useful when reviewing code, because you can quickly distinguish the names of the methods that are being invoked, ignoring the "noise" around.

Please, Could you add this functionality? Thank you!

After almost 1 year since my original post, I believe that it would be useful to have more element types to highlight, in addition to the ones mentioned then. Just as we have in Java.

For example, in Java I like setting a different colour for the declarations of local variables. That way I can see, in a fast peek, which variables are declared in a method. I know that we count with let in TS and var in Java 10 for cleaner declarations, but I still find that feature useful.

Thank you.
