Is it possible to add better control over the highlighting?
I found myself wishing that I could mark the "Debug" keyword for example in a different color so that it stands out more.
A workaround would be to create a macro to substitute the keyword, and add the macro's name to the list of user-defined keywords and then give all of those another color. Not very elegant, though.

The source has to be parsed for keywords (PB and user-defined alike). Adding a control where you could set different styles for different keywords would be really nice.

Simply add "Debug" to the user defined keywords and change the color for "user defined keywords".

Result:

Nice. Didn't think you could do that for PB's keywords.

@NicTheQuick,

Neat! Thanks.

Okay, that's better than using a macro. Thanks.
A little more control over the highlighting would still be neat, but my immediate needs have been fulfilled
