Color Identifiers is a syntax highlighter that gives each identifier a different color, inspired by Color Identifiers Mode for Emacs.
Features
This extension works for any language that offers semantic highlighting in Visual Studio Code. It uses the language server to determine which words to highlight.
Two themes, Color Identifiers Dark and Color Identifiers Light, are included. These themes make variables more prominent and language keywords less prominent. Color Identifiers is also compatible with any existing theme.
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings:
colorIdentifiersMode.tokenKinds: The types of language tokens that should have a color applied (see official Semantic Highlight Guide).
colorIdentifiersMode.paletteMode:
automatic chooses colors that are likely to work well with the active color theme.
manual chooses colors from a user-defined list.
colorIdentifiersMode.manualColors: The list of colors used in the manual palette mode.
colorIdentifiersMode.ignoredLanguages: Don't colorize files in these languages.
colorIdentifiersMode.method:
sequential assigns colors to identifiers in the order the identifiers appear in the file
hash uses the variable's name to decide its color.
colorIdentifiersMode.ignoredFileSize: Ignore files larger than this amount of bytes.
