Enumeration support #29
Description
From Sami Koskivaara (@Satak) on November 24, 2015 7:49
The whole enumeration / enum keyword feels like it's not implemented to have a support for it. Doesn't highlight the keyword or it's content and doesn't offer any snippets.
Copied from original issue: PowerShell/vscode-powershell#26

You can see that enum keyword, the name or it's content is not color coded

This seems to be a problem with the TextMate bundle we're using from Sublime Text. GitHub also uses it, this is how the same code gets highlighted here:
enum test { listItem1 listItem2 listItem3 }Looks like there's already a bug filed against the Sublime Text repo for this:
SublimeText/PowerShell#124
Joel Bennett (@Jaykul), any interest in trying to fix that one?

I just ran into this today as well. It would be nice to at least get syntax coloring for enums.

Shouldn't this be moved to http://github.com/powershell/editorsyntax and closed here?

Yep!

Nick James (@omniomi) Could you have a look at enumerator coloring in spare time? (#29)

Any update on this, we're 3 years later now #curious

Jos Krause (@JosKrause), have you a chance to look at PR #155? In that PR I have a more complete
classandenumscoping. I could probably try to separate that out to a new PR. If you have a chance, also look at PR #156, it demonstrates a more elaborate statement syntax based scoping.edhaack commentedon Mar 25, 2020
Sure would be nice to treat "enum" as a real thing... finally.

Soon this turns 5 years 😁

This should finally fix this issue: https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/releases/tag/v2020.7.0-preview

Looks like there's still no fix for this, 6 years later...

Semantic highlighting in VSCode with
vscode-powershelldoes highlight enums.VSCode
