Syntax highlighting and other enhancements for the Julia REPL

OhMyREPL

This is my REPL. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

A package that hooks into the Julia REPL and gives it syntax highlighting, bracket highlighting, rainbow brackets and other goodies. A (slightly outdated) video showing installation and features of the package is available here.

If you like this package please give it a star. I like stars.

Installation

Pkg.add("OhMyREPL")

and then just load with using OhMyREPL (preferably by putting it in the .julia/config/startup.jl file)

Features

• Syntax highlighting - Highlighting of keyword, operators, symbols, strings etc. in different colors.
• Bracket highlighting - Will make matching brackets highlighted when the cursor is between an opening and closing bracket.
• Automatic bracket insertion - Will insert matching closing bracket and quotation symbols when suitable.

Warning

Note that this package overwrites some methods from Julia Base. If you get a weird error when using OhMyREPL you should reproduce it without having OhMyREPL loaded before reporting it as a Julia bug.
