Description
I sometimes use theide to edit shell scripts (mainly used in custom build steps) and I miss highlighting a lot. So I tried to add this option to CodeEditor. The attached diff adds the basic shell syntax highlighting to CodeEditor and theide.
However, I was not able to handle everything. There are two cases where shell syntax differs too much to bend the current parsing functions around it. I know about two issues right now:
- Multiline strings can't be highlighted properly.
- in case statement, the ')' in cases brake bracket matching

I would advise switching bracket matching off. I guess strings can be ignored, correct solution woult be to add some Syntax branches to handle shell scripts.
As we going to support html, js and U++ html templates, I guess there will be something happening anyway. Maybe a good time to add shell too...
