Thanks for the contribution! Definitely can see some extensions I use here, textmate is an extension as well, I'm assuming?

Hi Shewtha,
No, it's inside the "editor.tokenColorCustomizations", "textMateRules" is for configuring advanced types of text

Here's mine VSCode configuration settings. It's not that pretty fancy:

{ "editor.renderWhitespace": "all", "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top", "editor.fontLigatures": true, "editor.formatOnSave": true, "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true, "files.trimFinalNewlines": true, "workbench.iconTheme": "material-icon-theme", "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "PowerShell", "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'FiraCode Nerd', 'Inconsolata for Powerline', monospace", "php.validate.executablePath": "C:/xampp/php/php.exe", "eslint.run": "onType", "[html]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" }, "[css]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" }, "[javascript]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" }, "[jsonc]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" } }
