Left parenthesis character literal messes up following syntax highlighting

[Anders-E]

Might be a bit hard to see but notice how the nil after \( has a different color than the nil after \).
Using Calva 2.0.199.

Thanks. I tested this in Atom where it behaves the same, so that means the error lives in the tmLanguage grammar. Probably here:

calva/src/calva-fmt/atom-language-clojure/grammars/clojure.cson

Line 341 in dedfd2c

'match': '(?<=\\()([^"]+?)(?=\\s|\\))'

Not completely sure but it looks like it treats the opening paren as the start of a list and then nil is in function position and it gets tokenized as being a function call. I think I've seen similar idiosyncrasies with what we treat as being a function call.

If you want to help fix it, please see https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva/wiki/How-to-Hack-on-Calva#updating-the-tmlanguge-grammar

It is pretty well covered with tests so once the tests for this fix runs and the other tests run it is very likely fixed properly. 😄

Thank you for the quick and detailed reply! I'll see if I can spare some time to have a look at it this weekend.

Thank you for the pointers and for making Calva, I really enjoy using it.
