Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; first locate the theme-token definitions and bundled theme resources, then compare the existing Types and Variables entries with the proposed token list. Done means the requested tokens are implemented, the old entries are replaced as specified, and all bundled themes include the updated tokens.

enhancement theme
Description

We currently have "Types" and "Variables" theme tokens. We should replace these two with "Types Declarations", "Type Names", "Variable Declarations", "Variable Names". There are also several more that we might add...

  • classNames
  • typeDeclarations
  • typeNames
  • variableDeclarations
  • variableNames
  • functionDeclarations
  • functionNames
  • propertyNames
  • constants
  • parameterNames
  • moduleNames
  • namespaceNames
  • preprocessorMacros
  • enumMembers
  • annotations

If we added these, the complete token list would look like this...

  • text
  • background
  • insertionPoint
  • lineHighlight
  • selection
  • invisibles
  • keywords
  • classNames
  • types
  • typeDeclarations
  • typeNames
  • attributes
  • commands
  • values
  • constants
  • numbers
  • strings
  • characters
  • variableDeclarations
  • variableNames
  • propertyNames
  • parameterNames
  • functionDeclarations
  • functionNames
  • moduleNames
  • namespaceNames
  • enumMembers
  • preprocessorMacros
  • annotations
  • comments
Additional Context

In Xcode, class names, function names, type names, etc. are differentiated between “Project” and “Other”. This helps developers quickly see what’s part of their project vs. an external dependency, making it easier to navigate complex projects, identify ownership of code, and make refactoring decisions. Is this something we want to implement as well?

We also need to update all of our bundled themes to include these tokens.
