  • How to change VSCode command color for aliases?

    Serious answer: It depends on how much you care about it. At one point I used this WIP rewrite of the grammar: https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/pull/156 + a custom theme to get it exactly how I want it but it was a bit of a pain to maintain across updates, new computers, etc. These days I just do most of my editing in ISE and only use VS code for minor tweaks.
  • Who uses Visual Studio Code for PowerShell Scripting?
    5 projects | /r/PowerShell | 31 Oct 2021
    There is a PR that mostly solves the inaccuracies here: https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/pull/156 but it has been WIP since 2019 with no sign of him finishing it in the near future. I don't blame him because it's a ton of work and semantic highlighting sort of made it irrelevant but it does leave us without an official editor that can handle the PS6+ syntax.
  • What do you guys do to setup Visual Studio Code for PowerShell?
    3 projects | /r/PowerShell | 15 Apr 2021
    This is the grammar I'm using: https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/pull/156 except I'm using the slightly modified version that is mentioned in the comments to properly highlight commands without the approved verb-noun syntax.
  • VS Code Syntax Highlighting

    The beginning of the chaos was this commit https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/commit/0cf060e9e0095e8e2565a3496d3909067b49fd90 which you'll notice contains no regex changes. It was things like changing the scope of $ from keyword.other.variable.definition.powershell to punctuation.definition.variable.powershell.
