Description

On Racket CS, 7.9, Windows 10:

How it generally works:

  • Type anything in parens (eg. (+ 1 2).
  • When the cursor is after ), the entire expression has a highlight/shade thing.

What doesn't work:

  • Type anything in parens (eg. (+ 1 2).
  • Insert -> Insert Comment box and type anything
  • When the cursor is after ), the entire expression no longer has the highlight/shade thing.

Haven't tried on any other OS yet.
