Customize syntax highlightin in canopy

问题:

I just installed Enthought Canopy in a freshly (clean) installed Mac OS X Mountain Lion. So far, it seems to run stable and fast. My only problem is that I want to customize the syntax highlighting of both the editor and the console. There are no preferences to allow for that what I find quite strange because the embedded editor is just Editra, a highly customizable editor. I want to:

• Editor. As I was using Editra before, where can I place my old style file (.ess) for the syntax highlighting such that it will overwrite the default one?
• Interactive window. How do I dissable the syntax highlighting from the interactive window? I tried the magic function "%colors nocolor" but this makes nothing. I saw there is a monochrome theme for the editor, but I want a Dark brackground with no syntax highlighting.

Thanks.

Glad you're finding Canopy useful.

Neither of these options is supported at this time. Canopy is designed to be an easy-to-learn environment, with relatively few configuration options, primarily for scientists, engineers, and analysts, rather than for professional developers who usually already have an editor of choice. We will slowly add features when there is a strong demand and/or use-case for it.

FWIW, Canopy does not embed Editra, though it does use the same syntax highlighting toolkit as does Editra (Pygments).

It appears the answer is.... Not Yet. I usually insert a lot of comments into my python code, and COLOR ALL #COMMENTS LIGHT GRAY, so they are not so distracting from the main logic, but have been unable to do that in Enthought Canopy. Too bad. Hopefully this ability will be added soon.
