Stop Formatting for End-Cap while Coding?

That feature has been in RB / RS since at least 2007 - quite possibly earlier but I do not recall
Its never been option al to have it turned on or not

IF you do not want to see those marks you can hide them
Open Xojo Preferences > Coding and set

  1. Matched Block Braces to some color different than the Code Editor Background color so you can see them when they match
  2. Unmatched Block Braces to the same color as the Code Editor Background color so you can NOT see them when they do not match

thats about as close as you have to turn that behaviour off

Ended up with AHK scripting - solved the problem so far…

I setup the following EXE to handle my current situation. Sharing it just because…

xojo_keys.exe
