so for example random? gets highlighted like random is a keyword and the ? part is separate. but actually it's a single identifier, which the ? is part of

I think this has to do with the use of \w in regexes to separate tokens. in regex syntax a character like ? isn't a “word” character, but in NetLogo it is.

https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/blob/headless/project/TokenLexer.flex has a list of what characters are allowed in identifiers:

IDENTIFIER_CHAR={LETTER} | {DIGIT} | [_\.?=\*!<>:#\+/%\$\^\'&-]

so it's letters, digits, and these characters: _.?=*!<>:#+/%$^'&-

Monsieur Reyman, thank you for making this script available. May I suggest that you add a licence, to clarify the use that others may make of your excellent code? I am about to start a project using NetLogo, and I also like to be able to acknowledge and tools that I use.
