[2.0] syntax highlighting should not apply to selected text

It makes it hard to read:

I personally like this. The theme in Edit is simply pretty bad. :(

For reference: nano also disables syntax highlighting when selecting text. Never actually noticed that before.

How to turn on the syntax highlighting?

Have you built the main branch from source? It should be on automatically for applicable files if so.

No, mine is version 1.2.1, so I guess that's why. I'll just wait till the next update. This text editor is pretty much perfect for my needs. The only thing I'm missing is the syntax highlighting. Normally I'll use it for editing config files and I like having a lot of comments in my config files and I need these comments to look different than the config options, otherwise it's very tough to use this editor. Also would be handy to quickly edit bash scripts when I need to. Yeah, I could definitely see MS Edit being my go-to editor as soon as this syntax highlighting works.
