Description matthies 2007-07-16 14:58:59 UTC 
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.)
Comment 1 Max Sauer 2007-07-24 10:08:23 UTC 
I believe this applies to editor/options/Fonts&Colors. Rather an ENHANCEMENT.
Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-07-24 16:58:49 UTC 
Good point, we should add it.
Comment 3 matthies 2007-12-13 16:27:12 UTC 
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?

moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Comment 5 matthies 2009-05-06 17:11:49 UTC 
Changed from TM = 6.5 to TM=next.
Comment 6 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 07:28:58 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
