Features
- Accurate Definition Scoping: Specialized highlighting for definitions (
defun, defmacro, defcustom, defvar, defgroup, cl-defun, cl-defstruct, define-minor-mode, etc.).
- Special Forms & Core Control Macros: Distinct highlighting for flow control, binding, and evaluation forms (
let, let*, pcase, save-excursion, unwind-protect, condition-case, dolist, with-temp-buffer, when, unless, cond).
- Standard Primitives & Builtins: Predicates and core operations (
car, cdr, cons, assoc, string-match-p, format, message, insert, point-min).
- Dynamic S-Expression Fallback: Any symbol invoked in function-call position
(fn ...) is cleanly scoped without requiring manual enumeration of the entire obarray.
- Global Variables & Constants: Built-in runtime symbols (
most-positive-fixnum, load-path, kill-ring), standard ear-muff globals (*global-var*), keywords (:keyword), and booleans (t, nil).
- Elisp Literals & Reader Syntax: Full recognition of character escape sequences (
?\C-a, ?\M-x, ?\n, ?a), sharp-quotes (#'), and macro backticks (`, ,, ,@).
- Language Configuration: Comment toggling (
;), auto-closing delimiters, bracket matching, and symbol-aware word boundaries.
