Does anyone know of a way to add new keywords (for syntax highlighting) to a language extension from the marketplace? Specifically I'm using the PL/SQL extension but it's missing some keywords I'd like to add (like BETWEEN, GREATEST, LEAST) without recreating the whole language extension myself. It was pretty easy to associate new file extensions with it but I haven't been able to find any documentation on adding keywords like you can in Notepad++ for example.
Is there documentation somewhere I missed?

To customize the keywords and other stuff, command + , (Windows / Linux: File -> Preferences -> User Settings) open the vscode file settings. json . Toggle the highlight, default is true. Whether the keywords are case sensitive or not.
After opening login.sh file in vim editor, press ESC key and type ':syntax on' to enable syntax highlighting. The file will look like the following image if syntax highlighting is on. Press ESC key and type, “syntax off” to disable syntax highlighting.
To configure syntax highlighting, click on “Language” in the top bar, then click the letter the language starts with, and then the language. If you want to define your own language, click on “Language” again, then click on “User Defined Language”, third from the bottom, and then click “Define your language”.
Add the keywords to the language's syntax file
Open the extension's folder
