(csharp) "where" keyword is not recognized as constraint

[superyyrrzz]

Here's an example:

public class TesterA<R, S>  where R : class where S : IComparable

This (i.e. constraints and base class keywords should be colored as keywords) is still an issue, any chance it will be addressed?

Hi @KristianWedberg or @superyyrrzz, as we have limited people maintaining the project, we rely on the community to help us with maintaining the languages themselves. Would you be willing to have a look at the language file and add "where" as a keyword if its missing? Most language files are pretty easy to change and logically organized.

I took a quick look, and the where and class keywords are already present in the "cs.js" language file. Despite this, neither where nor class gets highlighted when used as constraints, even though class gets highlighted as part of public class.

Debugging this is a bit beyond me, any ideas what might cause this?

@KristianWedberg thanks for taking a look. Not sure what might be causing it. Will leave this open in the hope someone else picks it up.

cs.js

      {
        beginKeywords: 'class interface', end: /[{;=]/,
        illegal: /[^\s:,]/,
        contains: [
          hljs.TITLE_MODE,
          hljs.C_LINE_COMMENT_MODE,
          hljs.C_BLOCK_COMMENT_MODE
        ]
      },

class starts a match and doesn't stop until it hits {,;, etc... and only matches title, or comments... so it won't match keywords. Someone would have to extend this matcher to also match class related keywords. At least that's what I see.
