Color coding syntax makes code jump off the page for many of us. Does it for you?
Bracket and parenthesis highlighting alone is invaluable.
My style is Obsidian, with a dark background, yellow/orange quoted text, blue variables, grey comments, bold white operators, white block comments. Ported from VI to N++ for a unified experience.
- tptacek 10y agoI don't know. I do it too, like everyone else, but I'm not sure how much of a benefit I get from it.
- stephengillie 10y agoMaybe you should try turning it off for a while? The benefit for me is highly proven - I'm 5 to 10 times more likely to make a bracket or parenthesis mistake without color coding. And I make about 10% more variable/comment errors too.
