Brace matching highlights
« on: February 03, 2023, 09:56:48 AM »
Hi

I've noticed something that I find a bit strange. Take the following piece of Python code:
Code: [Select]
digits = 3
name = "basename"
number = 42

result = f"{name}_{number:0{digits}}
When I place the cursor such that a set of curly brackets is highlighted, that set of brackets is shifted slightly downwards (see attached pictures).

Is this on purpose?

(SE is latest version with all hotfixes)

This has to do with how bold is rendered in your font (on your platform).  You can turn off the Bold option for brace highlighting by going to Tools > Options... > Appearance > Colors > Highlighting > Block Matching

Thanks for clearing that up.

In case somebody else runs into this: I use the MesloLGM Nerd Font Mono, mostly because I need a Nerd font for Powershell and Bash (where I use oh-my-posh) and I like how this one looks.
