Just pondering of the possibilities with the TextEditor class. It doesn't appear to be possible to implement any kind of syntax highlighting because I can't even get past the first requirement which is being notified everytime a character is entered.
Looking deeper there isn't methods either for Find and Replacing string matches.

Re: TextEditor
No, TextEditor.mcc doesn't support any advanced functionality alas.... convince the MorphOS team to open source its Scribble MUI class for a better alternative
Re: TextEditor
If I understand you correctly Scribble doesn't allow to add another languages to its syntax higlighter?

Re: TextEditor
I don't know about Scribble but it is based on the Scintilla editor component which is very flexible. So if a Scintilla MUI class was available on all platforms, a much more flexible API could be offered which would allow you to implement syntax highlighting.
