It just occured to me (through watching those video tutorials) that the Syntax highlighting for keywords is actually meant to work, for some reason I automatically assumed it was just broken but apparently it's not and instead it's just me. Further more, I'm now aware that Ctrl+Space should autocomplete your commands, for me I get an error saying "No commands available". I have the latest IDE update, anyone know the problem?

Found the problem and the solution. I'm guessing that this must be happening to other people as well so I'm going to explain it.

The new version of the IDE uses a different keywords system and loads the keywords.ini file from a different folder although the setup never actually makes this folder so none of the comamnds will be syntax highlighted.

The solution is to just create a folder called "Keywords" in your "Dark Basic Professional\Editor" directory. Then copy the "keywords.ini" file from the "FrontEnds" folder and paste it in the newly created "Keywords" one and it should work. Hope that made sense.

lol, usually the forums are pretty good with questions so not sure why no one responded to this one. Maybe nobody saw it? Not enough time? Doesn't matter though, the problem has been solved hehe.

Yeah, with this having 30 views as well I was surprised someone didn't reply with something as simple as "Happens to me too". Strange.
