Question

Is there a way for komodo to highlight variables that start with a '$' dollarsign?

An example would be variables like this: var $btn;
I want to use these variables on javascript.

Answer 1

Use the Find dialog to do this:

• Press Ctrl+F (or Meta+F in OSX)
• Click the regex checkbox
• Enter the pattern in the Find field: \$[^\s]+
• Click Find All

Komodo has this functionality built-in; Check Preferences > Editor > Smart Editing > Variable highlighting.
