BracketHighlighter

Nice work, loving this plugin! Is there any way to modify the color?

[facelessuser]

Yeah, you can open up the setting file and change the color. The color is based on the scope you assign to the highlight. By default it is "entity.name.class", but you could change it to "keyword" or any other scope in your theme.

Code: Select all

   //Scope? (Defined in theme files.) ->
   //Examples: (keyword/string/number)
   "quote_scope" : "entity.name.class",
   "curly_scope" : "entity.name.class",
   "round_scope" : "entity.name.class",
   "square_scope": "entity.name.class",
   "angle_scope" : "entity.name.class",
   "tag_scope"   : "entity.name.class",

If you want more control of the color, you can add your own scope to your current theme file and tweak to any color you would like.

Code: Select all

        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>Bracket Tag</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>bracket.tag</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#FD971F</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>Bracket Curly</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>bracket.curly</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#66D9EF</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>Bracket Round</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>bracket.round</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#F92672</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>Bracket Square</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>bracket.square</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#A6E22E</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>Bracket Angle</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>bracket.angle</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#AE81FF</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>Bracket Quote</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>bracket.quote</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#FAF60A</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>

This would allow you to do this:

Code: Select all

   //Scope? (Defined in theme files.) ->
   //Examples: (keyword/string/number)
   "quote_scope" : "bracket.quote",
   "curly_scope" : "bracket.curly",
   "round_scope" : "bracket.round",
   "square_scope": "bracket.square",
   "angle_scope" : "bracket.angle",
   "tag_scope"   : "bracket.tag",

Thanks!

Added Fold by Brackets, and Swap Brackets plugin to Bracket Highlighter.

Fold by Brackets:
Fold code block by brackets opposed to ST2's indention method. I will include this until ST2 supports fold by brackets natively.

Swap Brackets:
Use shortcut, or command to bring up a quick panel to select a bracket type to change current matched bracket(s) to. Works with multi-select.

Just installed this package yesterday and I love it. Helps bring a bit more color while providing a functional use.

A minor annoyance is how using the 'solid' outline style makes it a bit difficult to see the cursor, especially with the default bright-yellow quote-bracket color. Switching to the "outline" style mostly relieves the issue, though.

That said, great product, many thanks!

The plugin is very configurable; I personally use underline with a bold color that stands out. The default color is based on the colors in your theme, but you can get better control of the colors; just check out the readme of the plugin, and it will tell you how to change colors, etc.

Glad you like it.

Hi, thank you for your nice package! One question - is there a way to change color for highlight border? with option "underline" and "outline" color applies to border and it's fine but type "solid" doesn't give a way to define border color

Unfortunately no. The api doesn't even allow me to directly set the color of the region; I instead specify a scope, and that scope must be defined in the color scheme file. This is the description from the Sublime Text 2 API (this is the command I use to create the colored regions).

Code: Select all

add_regions(key, [regions], scope, <icon>, <flags>)   None

Add a set of regions to the view. If a set of regions already exists with the given key, they will be overwritten. The scope is used to source a color to draw the regions in, it should be the name of a scope, such as "comment" or "string". If the scope is empty, the regions won't be drawn.
The optional icon name, if given, will draw the named icons in the gutter next to each region. The icon will be tinted using the color associated with the scope. Valid icon names are dot, circle, bookmark and cross.

The optional flags parameter is a bitwise combination of:

sublime.DRAW_EMPTY. Draw empty regions with a vertical bar. By default, they aren't drawn at all.
sublime.HIDE_ON_MINIMAP. Don't show the regions on the minimap.
sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE. Draw empty regions with a horizontal bar instead of a vertical one.
sublime.DRAW_OUTLINED. Draw regions as an outline, rather than filled in.
sublime.PERSISTENT. Save the regions in the session.
sublime.HIDDEN. Don't draw the regions.

hi faceless XD

I add the icons via the API discussed a couple of posts up. This is from the description of the API method "add_regions":

Code: Select all

The optional icon name, if given, will draw the named icons in the gutter next to each region. The icon will be tinted using the color associated with the scope. Valid icon names are dot, circle, bookmark and cross.

You will notice though the cross never gets tinted, this is a problem with the API. You can maybe hunt down the icon in the theme and change it; that might work. I don't think you add new ones because I think the API only look for those specific 4.
