Add 'await', 'async', 'dynamic' to CSharp

[olego]

Description of the Issue

These 3 keywords are missing from C#: async, await, dynamic. Please add them to langs.xml

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Open C# file, and write:

public async Task MyFunction()
{
dynamic var = await MyOtherFunction();
}

According to the MSDN documentation they aren't actually reserved keywords. However it may not be a bad idea to add the contextual keywords anyways.

The C# lexer wouldn't be able to distinguish when the "contextual keywords" are applicable or not. Do you (or any one else familiar with C#) think this would be a problem? Meaning it would always highlight these contextual keywords.

I do a bit of C# programming, mostly in Visual Studio, but sometimes in
Notepad++ for quick edits. Of all the code I've been exposed to, I've
never seen anyone using contextual keywords as function or variable names.
Typically, the style is camelCased variables, almost always spelled out,
and almost always multi-word, so to answer your question, I don't think it
would be a problem to always highlight these contextual keywords.

I think I can also indicate the most frequently-used contextual words, in
order:

var await async
"yield return" "yield break"
where
dynamic

So even if you only add those, I'll be super-happy. By the way, "yield
break" and "yield return": does Notepad++ support keywords with spaces in
them? Unlike others, they are the only two that can't be rearranged.

I agree that it would most likely be rare to see these keywords elsewhere in code.

does Notepad++ support keywords with spaces in them?

Not it does not.

Hooray! Many thanks!

Since these updates won't be available until the next release (and just in case you aren't aware), you can go ahead and add these yourself. Go to Settings > Style Configurator > C# > INSTRUCTION WORD and add them to the "User-defined keywords" on the right.
