My current theme italicizes keywords, comments, and unfortunately, the pipe (|) symbol as well. Pipes should be absolutely vertical.
I found that it is possible to change the theme and below is the example for that:
editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"name": "Tag brackets",
"scope": ["punctuation.definition.tag"],
"settings": {
"foreground": "#BBBBBB"
}
}
]
}
which changes the color of angle brackets. So I'm thinking there's a similar "scope" key for the pipe characters as well?
Any help is appreciated !!!
i am trying to get the snippet to do this
recipes.addShaped("name", output,
[
[input,input,input],
[input,input,input],
[input,input,input]
]);
the code i am trying to use is this
"Add a shaped": {
"prefix": ["rec", "add"],
"body": ["
recipes.addShaped("${1:name}", ${2:output},
[
[${3:input},${4:input},${5:input}],
[${6:input},${7:input},${8:input}],
[${9:input},${10:input},${11:input}]
]);
"],
"description": "Add a shaped recipe."
}
any help would be appreciated.

Try this:
"Add a shaped": {
"prefix": ["rec", "add"],
"body": [
"recipes.addShaped(\"${1:name}\", ${2:output},",
"[",
"[${3:input},${4:input},${5:input}],",
"[${6:input},${7:input},${8:input}],",
"[${9:input},${10:input},${11:input}]",
"]);"
],
"description": "Add a shaped recipe."
},
All lines of the body have to be separately quoted and the qoutes within a line have to be escaped.
And the result will appear flush left with your current indentation without having to put the body far left like you had it. Just indent the snippet normally to set the left point. Any indentation from there will indent the result.
I want to know if I can repeat whats being typed on position $1 into the snippet location shown below:
"BootstrapCol": {
"prefix": "BSCol",
"body": [
"<div class="col-$1">$0</div><!-- ./col-{REPEAT WHAT IS BEING TYPED HERE} -->"
],
"description": "Create a Bootstrap Grid col Markup"
}
If so, how?
"<div class=\"col-${1}\">$0</div><!-- ./col-${1} -->"
I went through https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/theme-color-reference but can't seem to find the setting for changing the comment color.
I am currently using Atom One Dark Theme and just like to lighten the color a little bit so I can read it better.
From 1.15 (July 2017) you can change it from settings.json Ctrl+,
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"comments": "#d4922f"
},
From 1.20 (January 2018) you can also do it for each theme separately:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"[Atom One Dark]": {
"comments": "#d4922f"
}
},
Or now you can specify settings for multiple themes at once as "[Atom One Dark][Tomorrow Night Blue]": {...}
Finding the right scope:
Developer: Inspect TM Scopes editor.action.inspectTMScopes
Selector priority:
https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2017/02/08/syntax-highlighting-optimizations#_textmate-themes
Ok, more examples (for js):
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [{
"scope": "INSERT_SCOPE_HERE",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#ff0000"
}
}]
}
comment
punctuation.definition.comment
comment.block.documentation
storage.type.class.jsdoc
entity.name.type.instance.jsdoc
variable.other.jsdoc
1.Go to your settings.
2.Type “editor.tokenColorCustomizations” into the search bar then click on “Edit in settings.json”:
3.By default, “editor.tokenColorCustomizations” is set to “null”. To customize the comment color, you can add:
{ "comments": "[color code]" }
You can type something like this:
> "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
> "comments": "#e45e91" },
4.Change the color of comments,based on your liking by hovering over the color and choosing your desired color.
5.Then save the changes.(Ctrl+S)
6.Exit the program. open it again, you will see the changes.
To expand on the answer and #Johnny Derp's comment. You can change the font color and style using:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": "comment",
"settings": {
"fontStyle": "italic",
"foreground": "#C69650",
}
}
]
},
background cannot be changed in this way, only the color and style. As of June, 2018.
Also in answer to a couple of comments about changing comments puntuation (like the //) colors - which now have to be separately colored with their own textmate rule, a change may be coming to fix that in the October 2019 release - at this point it is an unresolved issue but added to the October 2019 milestone. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/milestone/102
In VS Code: 1.56.2
Add to settings.json:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": [
"comment",
"comment.block.documentation",
"comment.block.documentation.js",
"comment.line.double-slash.js",
"storage.type.class.jsdoc",
"entity.name.type.instance.jsdoc",
"variable.other.jsdoc",
"punctuation.definition.comment",
"punctuation.definition.comment.begin.documentation",
"punctuation.definition.comment.end.documentation"
],
"settings": {
"fontStyle": "italic",
"foreground": "#287a1d"
}
}
]
}
If there is still stoff missing: CTRL+SHIFT+P => Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes hover over the parts that are not colored correctly and add them to "scope".
There you are. :)
Looks like the token colors cannot be customized within the settings at the moment:
The most prominent editor colors are the token colors that are based
on the language grammar installed. These colors are defined by the
Color Theme and can (currently) not be customized in the settings.

I did notice that if you go into the theme folders, for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\theme-monokai
and edit the monokai-color-theme.json file, look for the line with "name": "Comment" and change the "foreground" color it will work. Just make sure to restart the program.
Like Mark said, but add in the "scope": after "comment"
"punctuation.definition.comment"
to color also the punctuation,
e.g. (// in javescript | /* */ in css | <!-- --> in html).
"scope": ["comment", "punctuation.definition.comment"]
While commenting on comment subject, I found "Better Comments" extension of VS Code very useful. You can give various colors to your comments and hence categorize your comments based on importance etc.
Default comments color can also be changed.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=aaron-bond.better-comments
Example:
This extension can be configured in User Settings or Workspace settings.
Doc, Block, and Line settings
To have differnet colors for Doc, Block, and Line comments:
I.e. for the Cobalt2 theme:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"[Cobalt2]": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": [
"comment.block",
"punctuation.definition.comment.end",
"punctuation.definition.comment.begin"
],
"settings": {
"foreground": "#85b3f8",
"fontStyle": "bold"
}
},
{
"scope": [
"comment.block.documentation",
"punctuation.definition.comment.begin.documentation",
"punctuation.definition.comment.end.documentation"
],
"settings": {
"foreground": "#6bddb7",
"fontStyle": "bold"
}
},{
"scope":["comment.line", "punctuation.definition.comment"],
"settings": {
"foreground": "#FF0000",
"fontStyle": "bold"
}
}
]
}
}
Tested with C++.
You can modify your VS code by simply edit your setting file in VS code and follow these 3 steps.
step1:
step2:
Step3:
To change VS Code comment color
File --> Preferences --> Settings
Choose the "Workspace Settings" tab to only change it for this project
Choose the "User Settings" tab to change it for all projects
Do a search for "settings.json" and look for an option to "Edit in settings.json"
Insert this color setting for the comments somewhere inside the curly brackets:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"comments": "#ff4"
}
It might complain that you are overriding your current color theme, just ignore that.
If there is already a section for "editor.tokenColorCustomizations" then just add the line to specify the comment color.
Hello I have downloaded the Plugins HighlightWords to use it with Sublime Text 3 that promises to highlight words using some of the colors. Download it from here:
https://github.com/seanliang/HighlightWords
Could someone help me to change the color of highlighted by default. What I have tried I have not been able to do. This is the file to modify:
{
// The colors to highlight texts are specified by a list of theme scope names,
// and HighlightWords uses this list in circular order.
"colors_by_scope":
[
//"keyword",
//"number",
"string",
"entity.name.class",
"variable.parameter",
"invalid.deprecated",
"invalid",
"support.function"
],
"whole_word": false,
"use_regex": false,
"ignore_case": false,
// Keywords to be always highlighted, clear the list to disable it.
// "keyword" are literally matched, and "color" refers to theme scope names.
// Note that json has some special characters like '\' should be escaped.
"permanent_highlight_keyword_color_mappings":
[
//{"keyword": "TODO", "color": "support.function"},
//{"keyword": "FIXIT", "color": "support.function"},
]
}
You can override default plugin settings in plugin user settings. Goto menu Preferences > PackageSettings > HighlightWords > Settings-User , then add the words and colors you want overriding permanent_highlight_keyword_color_mappings property. Example content:
{
"permanent_highlight_keyword_color_mappings":
[
{"keyword": "stackoverflow", "color": "variable.parameter"},
{"keyword": "sublime", "color": "string"},
{"keyword": "plugin", "color": "invalid.deprecated"},
]
}
Save the file and maybe you need to restart sublime. Result:
