Please add this functionality to JSL editor:

When a user Double-Clicks a bracket, the code inside the brackets is analyed, clustered ind highlighted with differnet colors.

Example for "if":

- conditions are highlighted green to separate the code blocks in-between

- else code is highlighted red to separate is from the other code

Similar highlighting could also be applied to many  other functions:

Match: highlight each match to separate the code blocks.

Substitute: highlight the search patterns to separate the replacement blocks

Hi @hogi, thank you for your suggestion! We have captured your request and will take it under consideration.

Please provide a corresponding Syntax Highlighting for SQL code - the code between corresponding brackets should be highlighted with different colors - depending on the logical structure within the selected code.

The possibilities of the Database Query Editor are limited to simple queries with 1 level of Join hierarchy. 

More complicated queries have to be generated by writing the query manually. Therefore, syntax highlighting will help Users who have to generate more-complex-data-base-queries
