monaco-languages

VS Code uses the Monaco editor [1], which in turn uses Monarch [2] to provide syntax definitions. the Monarch github page [3] has a FAQ which also explains why they don't support TextMate grammars, citing exactly that Oniguruma regexes != Javascript regexes. VS Code offers pretty decent Monarch syntax definitions in the monaco-languages at [4]; you're probably better off just using those instead.

Well MSVC only just supports C99 so asking for C11 keywords is unlikely to happen. I had a quick look at their C++ word list [0] and it looks like _Imaginary and _Complex and _Bool are the only missing C99 keywords. Feel free to make a PR if you want them added :) [0] https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-languages/blob/master/sr...

We are definitely cheating there - we use the same colorizer for C and C++. I don't remember why we define two different languages that point to the same colorizer. Please help us out and contribute a PR. Here[1] is where we register the C language and point to the cpp colorizer. And here[2] is the cpp colorizer. Please go ahead and try the C++ colorizer out at the Monarch playground[3] and edit it to make it colorize only C keywords, etc. Here[4] are the steps for adding a new colorizer. Looking forward for a contribution on this :). [1] https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-languages/blob/master/sr... [2] https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-languages/blob/master/sr...
