Improvements to Syntax Highlighting

[fitdev]

It would be nice to add the following improvements to Syntax Highlighting:

1. Control Flow Keyword option should include if, else if, else, switch, case, for, yield, break, foreach, try, catch, finally. So these get appropriate formatting as well.

2. Add "Local Variable" category for identifiers declared within method bodies, i.e. locals, so these can be colored/formatted differently and thus distinguished from say method parameters, or local fields.

Thank you.

Thank you for commenting.
Why currently only return, break, continue, throw, yield return and yield break are highlighted is because they are the point where the control flow get changed, exiting the current method or loop. That is my consideration.

Local variable is already there, please find the Local Member Name within the C# - Member section.

I see. Thank you for explanation. Then perhaps you can add another category for those as well, at least for branching constructs. I mean with ifs control flow certainly does get changed.

Sorry about the local member name. You are right, I got confused by the naming. Usually I don't think of those as "Fields", hence did not think that that item would apply to local variables.

Well, I will try make more category for C# keywords.

I will correct the naming of "Local Field Name" to "Local Variable Name", and move it to the "Declaration" category. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for adding the new categories: loop and branching keywords! I like the granularity of control!

The upcoming version will add more categories.

The try, catch and finally will be categorized as "Resource and exceptions" in the next version besides using, lock, unsafe statements.
And the upcoming version will allow you to apply the syntax styles to braces and parentheses according to the statement types, as well.

Applying the syntax styles to braces and parentheses is really great idea! Makes perfect sense!
