Feature Request: Re-Add Command/Option Syntax Highlighting to VS Code Plugin #130

I hope this is okay to post here!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The previous syntax highlighting (before the new VS Code plugin changes) made reading yarn files a breeze. The previous version highlighted << >> and -> with the same color as yarn code syntax and command names, and it was great.

The current version does not do that, and it has become a lot more tedious to read yarn files as a result.

(I'm not sure whether or not the new included VS Code theme re-enables that syntax highlighting, but I think asking people to change their VS Code themes for one scripting language is possibly not the best approach, unfortunately. I can't see many people enabling that feature, myself included. The automatic theme switching when editing a yarn file also felt glitchy, at least for me, so I haven't been using that.)

Describe the solution you'd like

It'd be great to see << >> and -> highlighted the same color as command names again, or at least using a color that stands out against normal text.

It'd be nice if the syntax highlighting color of quotation-less strings could match the quoted string in command blocks too!

Add tags

(I'm unable to add tags/labels to issues by the way, not sure if that is intentional or not! 😅)
