Could Visual-D highlight names of classes, names of structures and names of enums?
For example, Xamarin Studio does it.

Small example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78963719/D/forum/syntax_highlight.png


And another thing. Visual-D projects uses case sensitivity IntelliSense. That is terrible. How change it to case insensitivity?

So far, I haven't tackled that because I expect too many false classifications. Please note that "to" is colorized as a type in "to!string" by Mono-D.

So far, highlighting is only using information from the lexer, more details need semantic analysis. Visual D and Mono-D share the same semantic engine, though, so a similar result should be possible.

I guess that this should be an option, I'll put it on my todo list.

Yes, I know about "to". But I like that "to" is highlighted also. For me, when struct/class/enum names (and "to" :) ) is highlighted it allow orient in code much more fast.

Version 0.44 has a checkbox "Expansions match exact start instead of case insensitive sub string" on the Intellisense option page.
