I agree with you in that point. But nano hasn't got code hilighting, has it?
As I remember, by default nano hasn't any syntax highlighting, but you need to set it in a config file. Within the config file you can do something like this:
Code:
syntax "xorg" "xorg\.conf$"
color blue "[0-9]"
color green "[^A-Za-z0-9](Screen|Driver|Option)"
you can use regex to help yourself to find a specific string. If the string matches with the regular expression, it will be highlighted with the color you specified.
The first one:
Code:
color blue "[0-9]"
will highlight numbers as blue; the second one:
Code:
color green "[^A-Za-z0-9](Screen|Driver|Option)"
will highlight some of the keywords (Screen, Driver, Option) as green.
Visual Studio is the most preferred if you're on windows.
