Syntax highlighting on vscode

[Napoleon-Jm]

Hi, as I issues there:
swiftlang/sourcekit-lsp#1913

For now, the class's property name and property type is to recognized the same token,
and function param, and local variable is not recognized nether, I find lots of info and finally to your repo(respect).

I just want to know does your repo is solved to these problem? And how to use your repo to vscode, thx.

This repo is used in VS Code when you do not have the vscode-swift extension enabled, but use the builtin swift extension

Can I use the repo override vscode-swift 's just syntax highlighting part, because the extension has to deal with some lsp function, so I can't disable it.

Sorry, I don’t know about that, but if you discover the solution please share it here. Maybe it would be useful for others too.

vscode-swift repo has been archived
why not use https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=swiftlang.swift-vscode?

otherwise should report issue to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues
currently VSCode chooses the extension to use based on the alphabetical ordering of the publisher's name
with later letters taking priority Z > A

so if @jtbandes wished to publish this grammar as a VSCode extension
his extension would have priority since jtbandes.swift-syntax comes after dunstontc.vscode-swift-syntax

built-in extensions have lowest priority (since they are loaded first)
development extensions have highest priority (since they are loaded last)

Hm, yes I suppose I could publish this vs code extension. But I think that might be unusual, to use both the official LSP-based vs code extension, plus another extension that's effectively a clone of the builtin extension to override the syntax highlighting only? I wonder if that workflow is used for any other languages?
