This category only appears if VanDyke Software's SecureCRT® 5.0 (or newer) is also installed.

The Keyword Highlighting/Advanced category of the Session Options dialog allows you to configure the keyword highlight style for the session and the match style of the keyword list specified for the session.

List name

This field displays the name of the keyword list specified for the session and allows the list name to be modified.

Highlight style group

This group allows the keyword highlight style for the session to be specified. The highlight style applies only to the session and not to the keyword list. When the Color style is checked, colors can be specified for individual keywords in the list.

Match style group

This group allows you to specify the match style for the keyword list. Regular expressions can be used with either style of matching.

Whole words

Select this option to match whole words for the entire list. With this match style, keywords and regular expressions cannot contain spaces.

Phrases and substrings

Select this option to match phrases and substrings for the entire list. With this match style, keywords and regular expressions can contain spaces and substrings will also be matched.
