{ name = 'constant.language.js'; match = '\b(null|super|this)\b'; }, { name = 'constant.language.js.true'; match = '\b(true)\b'; }, { name = 'constant.language.js.false'; match = '\b(false)\b'; },Then I just added rules to my current theme for "constant.language.js.true" and "constant.language.js.false"
I would have done it Textmate wide but I don't know enough about the system for that, is there any implications for what I have done here?
There is actually a quasi-standard here, in the languages that scope booleans they are "constant.language.boolean.* The language part always goes last. So if you want to do this I'd use "constant.language.boolean.true.js" etc.
There isn't any real reason not to do this, the only real issue is that in customizing your language like this you fork it off, ie: you'll no longer get updates to the grammar when it'd changed in the future.
Looking at Javascript it is a 'flat' language currently so you could create a new language grammar with your two custom rules then just inherit javascript and you'd keep getting updates.
No downside to putting this in the main grammar though if no one objects. I'm always one for more scope info. ;)
