when writing syntax definitions, one quite often uses multiple capture groups. It can get quite tricky to find/remember where each group starts and which number it is.
I therefore propose that we add functionality similiar to how the syntax test highlighting helper works, and when the caret is on a captures: n: line in a sublime-syntax file, that the relevant group be highlighted in the corresponding match: line
- match: ((a)?(b)cde(fgh))(ij)
captures:
1: where is capture group 1 again?
