What would really be helpful, (if it's possible) would be to color nested statements differently:
if a = 1 then (red) -- some stuff if b = 2 then (green) -- do something end if (green) -- other stuff end if (red)Because often there's a lot of "do something" and "stuff" code in between, and if you aren't really careful about indenting properly, it's hard to find the matching end.
Theoretically possible - certainly. Edita, and now its planned cross-platform replacement Edix, has a "bCfwd" thing that handles brackets just like that, probably not that hard to adapt, but...
Edita/Edix also have Tools/Reindent, which certainly helps, and I would say that approach is better.
However, even better, Ctrl [ and Ctrl ] jump from the end if to the if and back - and in fact I just finished that in Edix only a couple of days ago.
As to when or indeed whether Edix will ever be finished, well...
