I made a simple D code editor, http://www.dprogramming.com/dcode.php

The syntax coloring should completely support D syntax. If not, let me know what I missed :>

Nicely done :)  I especially like the correct coloring of /+ +/ style comments.  It'd be nice to be able to change the colors, though, as lots of white hurts my eyes, and the colors are so muted that it's almost impossible to see the syntax highlighting.

Add some execute macro keys a la ConText, and it'd be perfect!

Very nice.  I tried opening some of the more... interesting sources I have laying around, and it did just fine.  I rather like the little gray left-side border on indented scopes.  It happens to be a perfect visual complement to my typical coding style.

Just four things keep it from "perfect" for me...
A) ability to open multiple files
B) some kind of 'cheap and cheesy' Projects support (a la EditPlus for instance)
C) customizable syntax coloring, able to set different styles for different keywords
D) braces/parentheses-matching.

I won't ask for folding... I never really use it, even in C#... it just feels awkward to me.  Also, do you think you might add other styling options to the syntax highlighting, aka bold, italic, underline?  I'm too much of a Borland user, I like certain keywords bolded.  ;)

Sorry. "/+/++/+/" isnt switching off the comment highlighting correctly.

Working on it now :)

I'll think about it..

I was debating this because it might not be considered a simple editor with this feature. I'm thinking I want it anyway.

That is pretty cheesy, but I like the simplicity.

Do you mean like separate colors for each of: int, align, and private?

yea, I'll look into it. I like it as well.

Same here.

yea, sure. I just don't particularly like that it causes things to be unaligned.

Thanks, I have it fixed.

Nah... no introspect, no "class browser", no autocompletion or any of that other fancy jazz... so its still a simple editor.  :)

Essentially, yes.  You could classify the keywords for simplicity, like one group for primitive types, another for attributes, one for statement keywords (like 'if', 'while', 'case'), etc.  That'd probably be a fair bit more straightforward than allowing each individual keyword to be customized... not to mention a lot faster to edit.  Could even just store the colors in a file that's parsed at loadtime.  Users could just edit the color codes in said file, then reload (or else provide a reload command in the menu somewhere).

That is true.  Its unessential anyhow if there's good varied coloring.

Is it D source?  Or c?  Just curious...

The text box is C++ and the rest is D.
