Turn off Code/ASM highlighting for faster parcing

I'm thinking the lag in the Code & ASM editors are due to color the highlighting? So an option to turn it off & on could help with the editing of longer blocks of coding be more responsive. Not sure if it should be in the prefs, button on the bottom menu, or both with the default in the prefs. I use a real editor for heavy editing anyway so it doesn't bother me much either way, & only use color highlights to find a missing ";" or something.

A user preference for that would be great - maybe with a shortcut key combo to trigger a syntax check on demand. I use an external editor too mostly, but it's a PITA if you just want to quickly change the value of a constant or tweak a hop value.

Highlighting should be lightning fast these days. All code editors I know do that without any performance lag. Even on files with 1000+ lines.

Besides: I think you already know you can uncheck the "Compile as you type" option?

Yes id agree it`s more of a getting your entire patch out and in of ram thing. But it would be nice to edit the theme a bit.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
