disable bracket-matching & curline highlight
« on: Feb 12th, 2003, 3:51pm »

hi,
 
A few people around ITP asked me, and others emailed me concerning the weird cursor behavior in the Proce55ing environment. When you put the text caret in front of a "(", "{", or "[", it will highlight the according closing one with a little box. It's useful in error checking and navigating around code; but if you are not used to it then it's just confusing and dyslexic-feeling - especially when you are trying to use the arrow keys to traverse a line like "void setup(){".
 
Here is how to disable bracket/brace-matching in Proce55ing. In the text file
"Proce55ing-XXXX/lib/pde.properties", find the following setting:
 
# bracket/brace highlighting
editor.program.brackethighlight.enabled=true
 
and change it to false:
 
# bracket/brace highlighting
editor.program.brackethighlight.enabled=false
 
save this text file,
restart Proce55ing,
and this caret behavior will cease.
 
------
 
you can make other changes here as well, for example:
 
# highlight for the current line
editor.program.linehighlight.enabled=true
