A quality of life plugin for the Lite XL text editor. Offering improvements such as highlighted comments and autocomplete for brackets, quotes and more.

Highlight comments with special properties using the @Todo(...) and @Fixme(...) keywords for an enhanced coding experience. Streamline coding by auto-completing brackets, parentheses, quotation marks reducing manual effort and improving the writing code experience.

Navigate to the data/plugins folder and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/chqs-git/code-plus.git

Alternatively you can download and rename the init.lua file to code+.lua and drop it into the data/plugins folder.

Using the settings plugin for Lite Xl you can easily configure your experience by changing the highlight colors for the @todo and @fixme operators.

If you wish to add more highlights you can simply update the following code:

function DocView:draw_line_text(line, x, y)
    local lh = draw_line_text(self, line, x, y)

    if config.plugins.code_plus.enabled then
      highlight_comment(self, line, x, y, "@todo", config.plugins.code_plus.todo)
      highlight_comment(self, line, x, y, "@fixme", config.plugins.code_plus.fixme)
      -- add a new highlight! the color is just an example
      highlight_comment(self, line, x, y, "@new_tag", {common.color "#ffffff"})
    end
    return lh
end

To extend the already auto-completing utilities to other keywords, you can simply use the complete function. Create a new command for the new auto-complete utility (required) and map a key to the command.
