Hi @gkong09 ,

Could you provide more details about it?

Hello Alessandro, Thanks for the reply. I've attached 2 screenshots to show the difference between built-in lazarus settings and vscode. Because of how pascal is made, the 'case of' statement is at the top, and it's really difficult to see the actual case statements. In other languages such as C you will have the 'case' for each case to indicate that this is a new entry and it will be highlighted. It becomes a bit messy when you have a lot of case statements or nested ones. Let me know what you think,

Hi @gkong09 ,

No screenshots available (maybe GitHub doesn’t import screenshots when comments are made by e-mail). Whenever possible, please update the screenshots, so I could take a look.

Thank you

If I understood correctly, you would like each case item (TAccuraSignal.VIDEO_SERVER_SENDER, TAccuraSignal.STATUS, etc) to be highlighted, not only the case, of, else and end keywords, right?

I’m not sure the Syntax Highlight API that VS Code provides (and the extension uses) does support this feature. I guess it would require to move to Semantic Highlight API. I’ll take a look.

Hope this helps.

Yes exactly.

I understand that it may not be possible/hard to do.
Thanks for looking into this, I appreciate it!
