HashTable Key TextMate Scope Priority#222

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Open a PowerShell File
  3. Copy the following into the file:
@{
    'string' = 'value'
    name     = funcName
    key      = $Variable
}

Result:

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Currently the 'variable' TextMate scope is a higher precedence than the 'meta' scope so setting the meta.hashtable.assignment.powershell scope to a different color is overwritten by the variable scope.

Trying to get a the hash key to be a different color than variables

    Kyle (@Tride0) you can target a ordered list of space separated scopes

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
	"textMateRules": [
		{
			"scope": "meta.hashtable.assignment.powershell variable.other.readwrite.powershell",
			"settings": {
				"foreground": "#FF0000"
			}
		}
