I like the syntax highlight style scheme used for R scripts in github and I would like to get it to my gedit editor. Where could I get it?
The easiest way to get R syntax highlighting in Gedit is the RGedit add-on: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rgedit/
RGedit also allows executing R code from within Gedit, which is very handy.
Here's a screenshot of how I have my RGedit set up. I use a custom color pallet but you could alter the color scheme to look more like Github:
The lower pane is the R session (black on white) and the upper pane is the text editor (color on black).
gedit doesn't seem to have much in "syntax highlighting plugins":
Smart Highlighting gedit
QuickHighlightMode
Both doesn't support easily any language definition.
Maybe another editor (like bluefish for instance) would be more appropriate.
It seems that both existing answers are outdated, although the RGedit plugin JD Long mentioned still works. It looks like the last update was from almost a year ago, and there might be some problems with the latest version of gedit; however, I installed the plugin and it seemed to work without following the instructions in the forum (I'm running on Xubuntu 14.04).
However, for syntax highlighting (like the OP requested) - you don't have to do anything special. Today Gedit comes with syntax highlighting for many languages out-of-the-box, and one of them is R. If it doesn't detect R automatically (based on mime type or extension) then you can manually set the syntax highlighting scheme by clicking on the file type on the bottom right of the screen, where it says plain text or by choosing View -> Highlight Mode from the menu.

I've just installed Ride editor on my Mac and I'm new to this. My python version is 3.9.4 on BigSur 11.4 and I'm using the dark mode theme.
I have trouble with the colors because I can barely see anything, only when something is selected. I've tried to change colors in the preferences but no luck.
I can't see the names of my files only when they are selected.
My project structure
I can't even write simple text case because I can't see what I am typing because of that yellow background and characters are white. Only after enter or when it is selected you can see what is in the field.
Test case fields
I can't make dictionary nor the list variables. I can only define them and add them values directly in the script because that window with the fields on the left is to small and I can't stretch it.
Dictionary Variables
If someone has facing the same thing or has an idea or solution at least for part of it would be great because I am out of the ideas. Thanks.
If you installed latest development from master (you probably did, so you can use with Python 3.9), you have options to change colors (and save and restore), from Tools->Preferences->General and for the Grid, Editor and Run tabs.
It would be nice to have those color settings files shared with the community. Please go to the project page and create an issue with those settings, or communicate on our Slack.
It seems that using '?' command is the only way.But this is too much trouble, need to run the function？ in another cell.
I've tried shift+tab, but it does not work for me.
Shift + TAB displays popup with signature, docstring and type.
One can also keep open Inspector where documentation will be displayed while typing.
I am very new to R-Studio. I was used to RGui, where there was no syntax highlight and the letters were very contrasty:
In R-Studio, the letters seem to be very dim, even the "black ones" doesn't seem as black as in RGui:
I don't have a clue how to change the colors (do you?) so I decided to turn off the syntax highlight completely. But I haven't found any way to do it. I tried Tools / Global Options, Appearance and Code Editing, but haven't found anything to change colors or turn off syntax highlighting.
I don't know of a way to turn off syntax highlighting completely. But it is possible to choose a different theme. Go to Tools - Global Options - Appearance and try the various settings for Editor theme. Maybe changing the font or font size could also improve readability.
Another option is to turn off syntax highlighting in a open file. In the lower right corner of the editor window, you should see R Script (or something else, if you are not currently editing an R Script) with two little arrows next to it:
When you click it, you can choose the language to use for syntax highlighting. If you pick Text File, there should be no highlighting at all. But you will have to redo this step whenever you load a file. At least, when you keep a file open in the editor and close RStudio, the setting will be kept when you start RStudio the next time.
I'm afraid you can't turn off syntax highlighting. There is only option to show syntax highlighting in console input. But you can still change the colors :)
Tools -> Global Options -> Appearance -> Editor Theme
The question is basically just the title. In the above image, Eclipse is highlighting the function scope/block with the blue dotted pattern on the left margin. While helpful, I find the pattern visually distracting, especially using Moonrise or the Dark theme. What is this feature called, and where would I find its appearance settings/controls?
This is eclipse 4.4 with PyDev and StatET installed, though I see the same behavior with basic Java files as well.
I assume you are using Linux OS.
What is this feature called, and where would I find its appearance settings/controls?
This is called as Range indicator.You can switch off the range indicator.
How
Click Windows > Preferences. Navigate to General > Editors > Text Editors. De select Show Range indicator option.

I'm using the Brackets editor, and I ran into this extension.
If you look at the picture on this extension's page you can see the small light bulbs next to some lines. I really want this feature, so I've installed the extension, but I can't see those light bulbs.
Is it a part of this extension or is it another extension in this picture?
If so, which one is it?
Those icons come from the Brackets Interactive Linter extension, created by the same author. However, they don't give you "auto correct" options like the lightbulbs in some other editors. As far as I can tell, the icon just shows you more details about the linting error.
If "auto correct" is what you're looking for, you might still be able to interest someone in working on that functionality. (The Brackets community is pretty responsive!). I suggest:
File an issue in the extension's repo asking for the enhancement; or
Start a thread on the brackets-dev forum making this suggestion, in case any other extension developers would be interested in working on it.
If you are using AEM Brackets Extension and are unable to install the extension via url then either try to drag and drop the .zip into the DragDrop area or add your unzipped extension folder into \www\extensions\default directory and run the brackets tool via cmd line rather than double clicking on it.
It worked for me!!
