Thank you for opening this issue, this is something I'm willing to work on for a 3.0 release. I think it has the potential of resolving some of the most raised issues here regarding JS highlighting.
I'll let you know if I find anything that breaks.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Since 1.43, VSCode themes can take advantage of semantic highlighting.
Every theme controls whether semantic tokens are enabled. So far, only built-in themes have it enabled and I filed this issue to ask you to opt-in for the Atom One Dark theme as well.
Adoption is easy and there are new cool styling possibilities.
To turn on semantic highlighting for a theme, all you have to do is put
"semanticHighlighting": true
in the theme's definition file.There's a good chance that no further change to the theme is needed (thanks to a default mapping from semantic tokens to TextMate scopes (if not, I'd be interested to know, so I can improve the defaults further)).
But, more interestingly, themes can tune and go wild by defining new styling rules against the semantic tokens:
Check out our Semantic Highlighting Wiki and the Semantic Highlighting Guide for more details and feel free to ping me in this issue if I can help.
Thanks for the great work and looking forward to semantic highlighting in your theme.
