Description

Datatypes are not highlighted correctly, they're just left for the default white text, which is very confusing, and also the expected object names are not highlighted to red as shown in the image

Research direction
Investigate the syntax highlighting definition files (likely .tmLanguage or .sublime syntax) in the repository. The issue reports that data types and object names are not highlighted correctly. Begin by examining the current highlighting rules for identifiers and types, and compare with TypeScript's official syntax. Then, determine the correct scope selectors for data types and object names, and verify if there are any test files that cover syntax highlighting. The maintainer may need to clarify the expected colors from the screenshot.
