EGL Development User Group

Hello Nick Leo,

The feature is "matching brackets highlight" is not available for EGL-sources. It is available for Java and Javascript-editors.

Best regards,

isn't that a critical development issue that should be addressed ASAP? I have to copy my egl code into notepad++ just to get the outline when  i have nested code. 

these are the types of issues developers deal with when IBM doesnt support a product they originally started. Very frustrating.

Hi Nick Leo,

The code formatter (<ctrl>+<shift>+F in an opened source) could be helpfull as well to get a better view on the source, as well as the outline view. 

If you really need "matching brackets highlight" for the EGL-editor you can open a support case.

would love to open case. can you provide URL?

Hi Nick

You can right-click on a tag (e.g. end, function, for) and select Expand Selection To -> Enclosing Element. This will select the entire block.

thanks tom. that is very helpful, but does not replace the need for hover-over especially when moving cursor to navigate large nested elements.
