Requests for syntax highlighting and properties dialog
Hello, I have some requests:

- 'Apply highlighting' button to redraw editor view without closing properties dialog.

- Move/organize words in highlight list.

- Remember scrollbar position in highlight word list when closing properties dialog.

- Warn or disallow input if highlight word length exceeds limit instead of truncating it after the edit commits.

- Ability to highlight subset of regex match using parenthesis. For example, to match an XML tag name without including < or </: </?([a-z]+)

- Option to choose custom RGB color for highlight instead of indexed color.

- It's kind of a pain to begin editing highlight words with the mouse... you have to click, wait, click again, then wait half a second to see if it goes into edit mode. A simpler way such as a regular double-click would be nice. It also would be ideal to have the caret placed at the click point instead of selecting the entire word. I usually want to make an edit, whereas the 'select all' puts it into a 'start over' mode (type and it erases the selection), requiring another click to set the caret pos...

Thanks!
