I'm currently working on customizing the syntax highlighting theme in TextMate for PHP code. I want to achieve two things:
Selecting Multiple Scopes: How can I select and modify multiple scopes simultaneously in TextMate's syntax highlighting configuration?
Scope Separation for example "keyword.other.type.php": Specifically, I want to target the scope "keyword.other.type.php" which is used both for return types and type casting. However, I'd like to style these two instances differently. How can I separate the styling of this scope based on whether it's used as a return type or for type casting?
This is for second question examples based on the return type (): string and type casting (string):
function rofl(): string {}
function rofl(string $variable) {}
This my current settings.json in case you want to see it:

}
So far I have tried to write scopes like this but it had no effect:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": "keyword.other.type.php meta.function.php",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#f22c3d"
}
},
{
"scope": "keyword.other.type.php meta.function.parameter.typehinted.php",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#2c96d2"
}
}
]
}
I tried to disable all extensions.
I made it so that sematic highlighting is disabled in the settings.json with:
"editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": false
I checked developers tools and I don't see any overrides in the css styling.
Feel free to share ideas, because I am out of them. Thank you for your time.
