Hi,

When a keyword is defined, for example "mykey", which is allowe to be typed at specific locations. How could the word "mykey" be used as an identifier to declare something at other locations. The mykey is always recognized as a keyword when it shouldn't at some places. How to allow this behaviour?

example:

mykey scopekey { // mykey is a keyword
  name = mykey // here mykey should be just a word
}

Regards,
Phil

Introduce a data type rule, and customize highlighting if you need it

MyID: "my keyword" |ID;

Hi Christian,

That's what I first created, however I was wondering if there is a better solution if this "problem" occurs for a lot of keywords at a lot of different locations...

Regards,
Phil

Hi,

next to excaping keywords (^mykey) where they are to be used as simple IDs (^ is removed automatically be the ID value converter), a data type rule is the default solution.
...In general keywords are keywords for a reason.
