Bravo! I think that those information are available on the bottom of the listing file.

Many thanks, I'm using VSCode now with the your plugin. my favourite editor now!

The issue with the navigation of the error lines was caused by chars like # " " etc well for me at least

Is there an update mech for the new version?

[atomix]

When updating an extension, VSCode IDE itself will update it the next time the program starts.

Many thanks Atomix.

Now that both you and John have made the IDEs point to the demo program that get installed with the compilers, I will need to go through them all and make sure they all still work as expected. :-)

Some of them were written back in 2003. LOL

How can I change the colours of the texts chosen and their duplicates? See the image below:



As can be seen, the top "Symbol" text is the one chosen, but it is also highlighting the other "Symbol" texts with a colour that is almost identical to the "chosen" colour, so I cannot clearly see which text has been chosen in a large program!

I've looked around and around in the settings and cannot see how to change the chosen and duplicate colours. Any ideas?

[atomix]

In the "General" settings, on the "Add" button and select the "selectionHighlight" element, then in this element write the value "false".

Many thanks atomix.

I have disabled it. However, it is handy, but the colours are not right. How can the colours be changed?

You must add the following settings to the file "settings.json" in VSCode IDE.

New Release 1.8.0

- Added new settings of the editor ("Selection Highlight", "Occurrences Highlight").

[top204]

Unfortunately, I was working on the json file when I updated and it has not made the changes and I cannot update again to check them out!

I am trying to emulate a look like below, when a piece of text is highlighted, as it is with the current IDE and UltraEdit etc...



But all I get is a dark blue background and the black text stays the same so it cannot be seen, when I add this piece of code:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editor.selectionBackground": "#110deae2",
    "editor.selectionHighlightBackground": "#ffffff",
    "editor.selectionForeground": "#ffffff"
    }

It's very similar to the one I use. An example image is in the picture. Dear Les Let me share the json file if you want.

[atomix]

editor.selectionForeground - It works only for highly contrasting themes.

[Yasin]

Yes, as atomix said, it happens as Les wants in high contrast themes.

[top204]

Many thanks Yasin

Can you send me a message and I will give you my email address for the file?

[Yasin]

Dear Les, I already have your email address registered. I sent it to that address. If you're going to give me a different email address, I'll send it again.

[top204]

Same email Yasin, and thanks.
