Matlab VS code extension - syntax highlighting doesn't work properly

[bicanski]

Hi there,

I was experimenting with the vs code Matlab extension.

Unfortunately it seems vs code color schemes cannot distinguish Matlab built-in functions from user-defined arrays, likely because of the parentheses. See example in the attached screenshot: my array ‘Enz’ (colored blue) just like ’nonzeros’ (also colored blue), which is of course a built-in function.

This is very distracting and kind of defeats the purpose of syntax highlighting.

Best wishes,
Andrej
