I'm writing some python script in VSCode, and I noticed that it's displaying function arguments text in italics
For example
I like the colour, but why is "key" written in italics? I searched all of VSCode settings and couldn't find it - maybe it's the Python extension that's doing this? But I couldn't find settings for that either
Until VSCode adds that setting, the workaround is to add this to the settings.json:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": [
"comment",
"punctuation.definition.comment",
],
"settings": {
"fontStyle": ""
}
}
]
},
That setting manually uses '' for the font-style on comments. Additional scopes may be required depending on where your theme uses italics.
Answer comes from this GitHub issue thread: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/32579#issuecomment-813005373
there is an issue open on Github with a workaround: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/32579#issuecomment-341502559
You can be more granular and narrow down the list of scopes if you know which one you want to change. To get the list of scopes use "Developer: Inspect Editor tokens and scopes" from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+p)
If you are using an extension for the theme in vscode. Then follow these steps.
Ctrl/cmd + shift + x -> search extension eg one dark pro.
Extension settings.
Just add this to the settings.json

This will work on any theme ✅
Reference: Reddit - Remove italic from VS Code theme
On the latest version of VSCode, it works on me when I set the scope = ['keyword.control'] and settings.fontStyle = '', instead of putting all configs in the scope that didnt related to your concerns
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": [
"keyword.control",
],
"settings": {
"fontStyle": ""
}
}
]
},
its because the monokai theme's. change other theme (like the vscode default theme) should solve the problem
