Hello, This plugin rocks, thank you so much for all your hard work.
I have a request having to do with the way pydev handles syntax highlighting.

If this functionality exists, please let me know, and I will hang my head in shame :)

Currently we can only specify 1 keyword, it would be really awesome if we could have a few more.
1 more specifically, methods.

example:
import os
os.path.join(var1, var2, var3)

in this example none of these can be set to a custom color other than the code option, meaning they all blend together.
I would like to request that we are able to choose a color for the method, in this case "join".

Thanks again.

    Any word on this, is it something you are willing to introduce?

    It's something I'm willing to add, but it's not currently planned (although, if there's a patch to add this, it'd be certainly welcome).

    I would also find this very helpful.
    Before switching to Eclipse, I used EditPlus for coding. It has a useful, simple system for writing syntax highlighting files. The syntax files are text based and use a .stx extension. There is a section in the prefs file where new filetypes can be defined. In this case, I think we'd need to be able to link the syntax file to a particular project or file.
    Thanks for considering it.
