Configuration

If you want to customize the token colors, add an editor.tokenColorCustomizations section to your vscode settings.json. The following example will change the color of annotations. You can color the annotation symbol as well as each "level" of member access separately, up to 5 levels.

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "textMateRules": [
        {
            "scope": "comment.line.annotation.symbol.abapcds",
            "settings": {
                "foreground": "#a8ad5b"
            }
        },
        {
            "scope": "comment.line.annotation.property.abapcds",
            "settings": {
                "foreground": "#d0f38e"
            }
        },
        {

Known issues

The highlighting grammar is a very simplified version of the ABAP CDS language structure. 99% of the language should be covered correctly, but some more complicated constructs can be higlighted unexpectedly. If you see anything outright wrong, please create an issue.
