Eclipse Connect IQ Syntax Hightlighting (Bracket Matching) Howto?

Hi,

i'm getting a little sick of Eclipse(Mac) - when I googled i found out that one can actually do syntax highlighting and/or bracket matching.
I'm supposed to do Ctrl-Shift-P but when I do it, it does not work.

Are there any tips or tricks on how to set up an environment for doing MonkeyC?

On windows, I find that using Notepad++ works great, I just use the JAVA as the code base/structure/syntax and I get matching braces.

Can I get a clue?

I found that if you go "Window->Preferences" then "Connect IQ -> Editor -> Syntax Highlighting"... seems to work okay...

But the thing you need to remember is that any already-open editor windows will not reflect the changes made until re-opened.

I could be wrong - but that seems to be working for me now. The bracket pairing available in notepad++, that is special and unfortunately I haven't found that in eclipse yet.

You may have already figured this out, but figured this info might be useful posted here.

You can also use Sublime Text with https://packagecontrol.io/packages/MonkeyC syntax highlighter. Highly recommended.
