Alternating bracket colors

Issue #574 new
Frederic Da Vitoria created an issue

Complex formulas can become tricky because of bracket hierarchy. One way to make things easier would be to use alternating colors for brackets. This needs testing, but I have hunch 3 different colors would be enough. Of course, those bracket colors should not conflict with other colors used by the active theme.

    Seeing that this issue got a few upvotes recently, I want to express that I am not exactly convinced that ththe suggestion is a good addition to SC. Right now, syntax highlighting already has a ton of colors, so adding more just for parentheses will either

    • add even more visual noise,
    • be restricted to subtle color differences that don't help readability.

    I think the current feature where the parenthesis matching the one before the cursor is very good and doesn't need any additional dead weight.
