Syntax highlighting

[tbm]

It would be nice if Simpletask would do syntax highlighting, e.g. show priorities, projects and tags in a different colour.

It does that for me to a large extent. The A,B,C are highlighted in different colors. Projects and Tags are in a different muted color but I agree it would be good if they were much more different, and if tags and projects were colored differently. There is a setting (checkbox) to color dates, but for some reason they remain (white) in a black theme, despite setting this.

It would obviously be hard to have a different color for each tag, but can I suggest as a simple improvement it might be possible to have different colors for tags/projects starting with different letters, even in groups of letters. It would be up to the user to decide how and if to employ this (although it might add too much processing time).

Oh! I've wanted priorities beyond (D) to be colourised since forever. I often (mis-)use prios as tags within non-task lists because they won't inflate the tag list. (For example: I have a groceries list, where the Priority is used to indicate which aisle of the supermarket they're in, so items are roughly sorted in order of where I can find them)
