Highlight color for type-over completions?


  • Subject: Highlight color for type-over completions?

When you type an opening punctuation mark (like a left bracket or a quotation mark), Xcode displays the closing punctuation mark as an auto-completion, which like any auto-completion you can either type over, tab over, or ignore and type something else altogether. It calls this a "type-over completion".

The problem for me is that the color of the offered punctuation is close to the color for regular text. So if I'm editing a nested message-send and I see a right bracket, it's hard to tell if Xcode put it there or if it was already there. If it was already there and I type a right bracket, Xcode will add a matching left bracket somewhere upstream, which makes my code not only wrong but instantly ugly, and I'll have to hit Undo; hitting Delete won't fix it.

I've submitted a Radar (http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=2609401), but in the meantime does anyone know of a way to set that color? Maybe an undocumented defaults setting?
