Even if I think the title asks the question by itself, I'd like to show an example of what I'm talking about. When working with other languages, I see this:
Python in VSCode:
And working with Delphi's code editor (or in VSCode with DelphiLSP), I have this:
Delphi in VSCode:
Delphi's Code Editor:
Delphi's Extended Example:
Isn't there an external/third-party plugin to improve the Syntax Highlighting within the code editor?
I've googled a lot and didn't find anything (but maybe I'm doing it wrong, as most of the results talk about Components with Syntax Highlighting).
I know it's a silly necessity, but maybe it's time to catch up with other languages in terms of Syntax Highlighting.
Edit: Added a bigger example in Delphi Editor to get closer to the content of the example in Python.
About DITE (Delphi IDE Theme Editor): I've been using it to clone what is possible from GruvBox but my current problem lies on what can actually get different colors
For example this comparison:
Pascal Colouring:
Python Colouring:
C++ Colouring (With Better C++ and Popping and Locking Theme):
I'm pointing there is not (and it seems one is not able to do it if wants so) a way to get different colors on variable names vs. function names, or function names vs. parameters, or class names vs class methods I believe it's possible on VSCode (cus this distinguishing seems not to exist for C++ or JS in some themes), but not so sure about the Delphi/RAD Studio Code Editor.
I would recommend using Cnpack or GExpert. Both are popular third-party IDE plugins for RAD Studio, and they provide various enhancements to the RAD Studio IDE, including features related to syntax highlighting.
