Make Linguist a "Visual Commander" extension for VS-2013

[Jeff-Relf]

@jesse99, would you help me make Linguist a "Visual Commander" extension for Visual Studio 2013 ?

Note: I want a super-simple version of Linguist, not a full implementation.

Most importantly, I want to use select colors/fonts when displaying certain "glyphs" ( i.e. chars ); like this: http://jeff-relf.me/X.PNG

"Visual Commander" is here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/deda8ac1-75e6-4068-89ab-b607cee38f2d/view/Discussions

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time for personal projects at the moment so I'm not sure how much I can help.

I understand; you don't have the time for this.

I want to make a "Visual Commander" extension that sets the font and color of all '0' glyphs in the text editor, Visual Studio 2013.

And I'd like to know if that coloring would override the C/C++ syntax highlighting I currently see.

Should I be looking at "IViewTaggerProvider" ?

Actually, I want -all- file types to open in 
the text editor with -nothing-but- 
the per glyph font/colors I specify.

For example, I want all digits, everywhere,
to have a certain color/font.

And I want to do this by handling certain events,
in a Visual Studio 2013, "Visual Commander" extension.

Problem is, I don't know what those events are,
or how to handle them.

Any help would be appreciated.
