I just wonder how much work it would take to add two features which I
would find great in the windows editor of WINPOV:

1 - Highlight matching braces. When the cursor is close to { or }, the
matching one is highlighted. It would be much easier to understand the
code in deeply nested objects, CSG, ..... Most unix editors have this
feature.

2 - Expanding keywords : When the beginning of a keyword is written in
the editor (ie 'ligh'), the user should be given the choice of the
possible matching keywords ( 'light_source' or 'light_group'.
If only one keyword matches (ie 'cam'), the editor should complete that
keyword ('camera').
Scite does this.

If you want clear examples, both features are implemented in my Linux
POV-RAY editor at :
http://pyvon.sourceforge.net    see screenshots

You have to have Python installed first.
