Changing the colour of Python docstring params in VS Code

I'm looking to change the colour (or highlight) of params in Python docstrings in VS Code.

I had some look into themes, but I don't quite understand how I could add a custom scope using TextMate.

On the image below, you can see the :param: are the same colour as the string. I'm looking for it to be a different / custom colour.

Might also look into highlighting the return types such as str or dict.

I'd really appreciate any and all help!

Code Snippet

Solution

  • The doc string is colored as a normal string.

    Use the extension Highlight to specify which text should have a different color

      "highlight.regexes": {
    "(:(?:param|return))( \\w+)?(:)": {
      "regexFlags": "g",
      "filterLanguageRegex": "python",
      "decorations": [
        { "color": "blue" },
        { "color": "green" },
        { "color": "blue" }
      ]
    }
  }
