need an option to ignore brackets in comments

[mathteacher75]

I often use comments to switch between two commands with the same arguments. In the following code, the syntax highlighting detects that the opening bracket is in %\secondcommand{, instead of \firstcommand{. How to make syntax highlighting ignore brackets in comments, so that it can detect pairs of brackets just like the compiler does ?

Ignoring all comments for syntax highlighting could be an acceptable solution to me, even if it unactivate %TODO detection or other features. How to do that ?

Any help would be appreciated.

there is no good way of achieving this.
The bracket matching is done with regex which does not easily allow for comment detection.
You can set up your own definition though, see https://texstudio-org.github.io/background.html#writing-your-own-language-definitions

You could also move the opening brace to the next line...

@sunderme This approach is impossible, since i have nested commands, of which several might be commented.
