There should be a category "Type" for "All Languages", similar as there are "Field" and "Method" categories. For example Java annotation/class/constructor/interface use & declaration would use this when set to "Inherited". (Keyword would still override this for type names that are keywords, i.e. the primitive types.)
I believe this applies to editor/options/Fonts&Colors. Rather an ENHANCEMENT.
Good point, we should add it.
As I'm editing the color settings for my 6.0 final installation, I notice that this hasn't been implemented yet, although "target milestone" is "6.0". Having a "Type" category would (again) have saved me a bunch of time. I would have thought that adding such a category is quick & simple. So, I'm wondering what is the status now of implementing this enhancement?
