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.

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 :)

If I understand you correctly Scribble doesn't allow to add another languages to its syntax higlighter?

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.
