Is there a way to better distinguish between parentheses and braces?
-
Most programming languages use a lot of parentheses and curly braces.
Unfortunately, these look similar, mainly if you use a small font.
Is there a way to make them more different?
One way would be to allow different Notepad++ styles (including highlighting colour) for each type.
Thank you for considering,

I have never had trouble distinguishing parentheses and curly braces.
Just how small of a font (and which font) are we talking about here? -
@Alan-Kilborn, my screen resolution is 3840 x 2160. That means a lot of screen space, but the fonts look small.

Most, if not all, programming languages unfortunately use the same styles for the different brackets.
There is a plugin calledEnhanceAnyLexer, of which I am the developer, that allows you to change the color afterwards using regular expressions. I am working on how to change individual styles as well, but unfortunately there are some obstacles that I have not yet been able to overcome. At least not without introducing noticeably worse performance. -
Monoid is a customisable open source font designed for writing code in. https://larsenwork.com/monoid/
There are other fonts out there as well if you search the web.
