Hi Ilia,
Can we please get a option to disable the auto highlite in file manager text edit. Most of the time the highlite is disturbing when coding and editing. I do think it is a nice feature when you need it, therefore I would prefer to enable it when I need it. Also the cursor is rather difficult to see due to the highlite.
If this is not doable, is there some other way to disable it?
Best regards, Leffe

Oh, well. It's probably possible.
I'll see what I can do.

Thank you! :)

Okay, I've been looking more into this issue.
I'm not sure, why are you requesting it? It's hard to imagine that the correct code-highlight could be disturbing! Could you please provide more details about it? Where exactly you find code highlight wrong/un-needed? What is the real issue? Doesn't it detect file-type and thus highlight correctly?
We are all not willing to add to many options for nothing.

Hi Ilia,
I'm not talking about the different colors in the code, that is really good! Im talking about the marking/highlite of same word and matching/finding brackets and stuff. And the highliting is not wrong, it is just really annoying, when writing or editing code all the same words gets highlited and make everything "flicker", all the time, and when brackets and parentheses are matched they get a border and when the cursor is after/behind a symbol it almost dissapears in the border.
I do think the "highlite same word" is a nice feature if you are searching for some thing, but when moving around in the code the highlited words lighting up all over the code is disturbing.

So code highlight (colors) should stay, but bracket-match and selecting the same word not?
Would that be better if the word selection would only be activated when the word selected with double click or so? If it's possible with out patching third-party libs, I can do it. Other than that, I could make an option to disable bracket/word highlight.

yes, the code colors is really helpful, so that's a keeper :)
I would prefer to be able to de-activate brackets and word recognition, in that case I can use it when I want without having to move my hand from the keyboard to the mouse to double click a word. If I could decide I would go for a option to de-activate/activate the feature.

Hi, Leffe.
I have made highlight to work as in other/major editors - highlight only when the word is selected. You don't need to use mouse, you can use same method as for browser or other editors - Shift + Left/Right Arrows or Shift+Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow for using word boundary.
