[AL Language Syntax Highlights Devops] Some colors are not right

[NKarolak]

I believe the answer is already given here:
#7617 (comment)

unfortunately not.
In my issue, there are some highlight bugs.

1. Literal Names (action names, fields, etc.) Have only the Double quote colored, the rest still in plain text.
2. The ":" are in red. (normally the red color indicates an error)
3. Properties are the same color as their value.

Then yes, there is one thing that is similar to the issue you reference:

Can we use the same syntax Highlighter as the one in VsCode?

But the real problem here are the point 1-3

On point 1 - "Literal Names (action names, fields, etc.) Have only the Double quote colored, the rest still in plain text.":
This was a deliberate design decision. As double quoted names are not strings, it felt inconsistent to highlight them as single quoted strings are. However, highlighting just the quotes at least calls awareness to when you are using a quoted name. This decision was made on the back of internal feedback pulling in either direction. As we've only had this one issue logged on this behaviour, we will not be addressing it at this time.

On point 2 - "The ":" are in red. (normally the red color indicates an error)":
Yep, that's an actual issue. It's the reason why I am marking this issue as accepted.

On point 3 - "Properties are the same color as their value.":
Our answer is the same as what NKarolak mentioned: The syntax highlighting in VSCode also highlights property names and values the same. As an example, take this throwaway report snippet I made in VSCode using syntax highlighting:

The fix for this issue has been checked in to the master branch. It will be available in the bcinsider.azurecr.io/bcsandbox-master Docker image starting from platform build number 24.0.16028.0 and VS Code Extension Version 13.0.938391.

If you don’t have access to these images you need to become part of the Ready2Go program: aka.ms/readytogo
