https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd_help#Syntax_highlighting_of_special_characters I would like syntax highlighting specifically of n and m dashes. Can that be added (or am I using it wrong somehow)?

As a note, I am not happy about the Insert drop down ... what I generally want to do takes two clicks to expand that list. Can we have an option to have it expand fully first time?

The teams that built these two tools (CodeMirror's syntax highlighting and the visual editor) are not working on these areas at the moment, so (unfortunately, but realistically) I wouldn't expect to see much progress this year. However, the ideas are on their lists, and the syntax highlighting idea might be suitable for the m:Community Wishlist, which starts on Monday.
