In VS Code, I'd like to have one textmate scope (e.g. punctuation.definition.variable) reference another one (e.g. variable.other.readwrite.global) so that the first element always uses the second element's color. Is that possible?
I am not interested in creating my own theme because I want these changes to be dynamic, to stay in effect regardless of what theme is in use. Specifically, the Perl syntax definition for $foo separates the sigil (e.g. $) and the variable name (e.g. foo) into two separate elements, and I would like to treat them as one.
