Can you add a no italics version?

[ahmadawais]

The italics are very limited I am actually making an italic theme version on so many requests that I have received for it. What you can instead do is disable all the italics in the theme which I make a point to list together. Here ⬇️

OK on second thought, you can't do that. I thought one could do this with "workbench.colorCustomizations": { but that's not allowed.

Let me think about it.

[ahmadawais]

OK, yes I figured it out. You can disable the italic scope by putting this in your settings.json file.

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
		"textMateRules": [
			{
				"name": "[ITALICS] REMOVED",
				"scope": [
					"modifier",
					"this",
					"comment",
					"storage.modifier.js",
					"entity.other.attribute-name.js",
					"entity.other.attribute-name.html",
					"punctuation.definition.comment",
					"text.html.basic entity.other",
					"entity.other.attribute-name.tsx",
					"entity.other.attribute-name.jsx",
					"markup.quote.markdown meta.paragraph.markdown",
					"markup.italic.markdown",
					"text.jade entity.other.attribute-name.tag",
					"keyword.control.from.js",
					"entity.other.attribute-name.tag.pug"
				],
				"settings": {
					"fontStyle": ""
				}
			}
		]
	}

I have set fontStyle to an empty string. The reason is explained here ⬇️
Font style of the rule: 'italic', 'bold' or 'underline' or a combination. The empty string unsets inherited settings.

Peace! ✌️

I looked for settings I could override, but it appeared most of the snippets I found were out of date, since the settings API changed with time, heh. I'll try that.

[adi518]

Oh, should be: ITALICS instead of ITALLICS. It's just a name, but still.

I think might be worth a PR. What do you think?

[ahmadawais]

@adi518 It should work. I tested it. Also, name doesn't matter but yes, I just edited it. Would def be worth a PR. I have a bad habit of this typo. 🤔

Even better would be to change this behavior only for Shades of Purple theme. In that case, the necessary CODE in your settings.json file would be:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "[Shades of Purple]": {
            "textMateRules": [
                {
                    "name": "[ITALICS] REMOVED",
                    "scope": [
                        "modifier",
                        "this",
                        "comment",
                        "storage.modifier.js",
                        "entity.other.attribute-name.js",
                        "entity.other.attribute-name.html",
                        "punctuation.definition.comment",
                        "text.html.basic entity.other",
                        "entity.other.attribute-name.tsx",
                        "entity.other.attribute-name.jsx",
                        "markup.quote.markdown meta.paragraph.markdown",
                        "markup.italic.markdown",
                        "text.jade entity.other.attribute-name.tag",
                        "keyword.control.from.js",
                        "entity.other.attribute-name.tag.pug"
                    ],
                    "settings": {
                        "fontStyle": ""
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
    }

Also, I know this will be changing, but at the time of writing this comment: This is the link to italic scope code with correct line numbers.

Peace! ✌️
