How to highlight all the function's name in Emacs' lisp-mode?
elisp, emacs, font-lock, lisp, syntax-highlighting
Solution
Use this:
(defface font-lock-func-face
'((nil (:foreground "#7F0055" :weight bold))
(t (:bold t :italic t)))
"Font Lock mode face used for function calls."
:group 'font-lock-highlighting-faces)
(font-lock-add-keywords
'emacs-lisp-mode
'(("(\\s-*\\(\\_<\\(?:\\sw\\|\\s_\\)+\\)\\_>"
1 'font-lock-func-face)))
A funny thing: this messes up with `let` bindings, just like Github. But that's what you asked for, right:)?
