Disabled CodeMirror-matchingtag

I am looking for a way to disable the tag highlight that is affected by the .CodeMirror-matchingtag selector. Using this selector only appears to allow the updating of the background color which turns it from illegible to at best a horrible user experience (Better than nothing but still way short).


Unfortunately this feature is so poorly constructed it makes using dreamweaver a nightmare when working with projects that have a large amount of attributes in a tag.

    The user OhAdobeYouSoCrazy gives the solution to keep your code coloring when a tag is selected in a post on March 3rd at the link I gave above. It works fairly well (I use it myself).

    The lesser of the two options, using the Solarized theme, is a faster way to get legibly highlighted code when a tag is selected, but it does still overwrite the other code coloring that was there.

    Doing the leg work to modify your current theme, or switching themes are the only two work-arounds for the issue in your screen shot right now.

    There are a couple solutions to that one...

    Solution: White on Mint Green Code Color.

    Another approach would be to use the Solarized Theme under Edit > Preferences > Interface

    Jon,
    I appreciate the response. Unfortunately just changing the theme/colors isn't getting me over the issue that it recolors all the parameters at the same time.

    Ideally I would like to just disabled the feature entirely but it is starting to seem like that isn't possible.

    Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
