Highligting logical operator keywords

[bitsauce]

I may be doing something wrong here, but I am unable to get VSCode to highlight any logical operator keywords in my cpp files. I've found that the and, or, not keywords can be recolored using the keyword.operator scope, however, this also colors other operators, such as =/+/etc..

Similar issue for lua: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/71504

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm using the Dark+ theme

The code with a problem is:

if (not a and (b or c)) { ... }

It looks like:

It should look like:

and, or and not should be purple like the preceding if (or some other color).

Try running the ">Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes" in the command pallet (cmd/ctrl+P) it'll show you all the scopes then you can get the full name instead of just keyword.operator

[jeff-hykin]

there's a scope called keyword.operator.wordlike that is probably the one you want to use. It'll work for operators like new too

Thanks Jeff! Got it working now by specifying keyword.operator.and.cpp, keyword.operator.or.cpp, etc. 🙂

One question though, do you know if there is a reason these keywords don't work out of the box? Or did I just mess up my dev environment somehow maybe?

It sounds like the theme just chooses not to highlight operators . They might consider that a bug but they could consider it a feature

I personally recommend any theme other than the default theme. (and I really mean ANY theme) Here are some pretty good ones:

• Material Theme
• Noctis
• XD Theme (<- biased cause its mine)
• Kary Pro Colors
• One Monokai Theme
• Winteriscoming
• Popping and Locking
• Syntax Highlight Theme
• Default Theme Enhanced
