    Description

      With the DRTVWR-351 viewer, I see that different keyword types have (as far as I can perceive them) the same highlight color. Here are the ambiguities as I see them:

      • events, string constants, and key constants are all light blue
      • functions and float constants are both purple
      • rotation and vector constants are both green
        • they're also just a slightly lighter shade of green than a string

      Syntax highlighting colors should be unambiguous - each of these keyword types should be perceptibly unique, and not black (black indicates that no keyword is recognized, which you'd see in a variable name, for example)

      Here's the text from my screenshot:

      attach  // LSL event
      		 
      DEBUG_CHANNEL   // LSL integer constant
      		 
      DEG_TO_RAD   // LSL float constant
      		 
      EOF   // LSL string constant
      		 
      TEXTURE_DEFAULT  // LSL key constant
      		 
      ZERO_ROTATION  // LSL float constant
      		 
      ZERO_VECTOR  // LSL vector constant
      		 
      llAbs  // LSL function
      		 
      "hello"   // a string
