KDevelop 5.0.0 release

Offtopic: I really loved their variable coloring when I used to work with it. Basically there's a hashing function that maps the variable name to a certain set of colors. It helps to quickly notice what variable is used where.

Is there such plugin for ST2, perhaps for VSC?

Note: You'll find yourself renaming variables just to get a different color :)

Thats sounds like my nightmare! ;)

I'm very easily distracted by too much coloring, so this just doesn't work for me. If I want to see the usage of one variable I just highlight the usage of this one variable.

Luckily you can disable the variable coloring completely in KDevelop :)

That's fine! :)

I didn't wanted to imply, that I'm thinking this can't be configured in KDevelop.

One of my friends wrote color-identifiers-mode for Emacs[1], which does just that. It supports a bunch of languages and seems reasonably popular.
