Disable highlight of TODO/NOTE but keep semantic highlighting enabled #1809
Description
Semantic highlighting unfortunately makes TODO/NOTE/etc. strings in comments unreadable with the color scheme I use (https://github.com/rebelot/kanagawa.nvim), but it can be useful otherwise. Is there a way to prevent semantic highlighting from altering the coloring of these TODO/NOTE strings in comments while keeping it enabled?

Can you provide a screenshot? I don't seem to get any highlighting for TODO/NOTE comments.

@carsakiller:
That's the problem: If
sumneko-lspis disabled thenTODOhas different highlight, making it easy to tell at a glance, otherwise it's overriden and looks like regular comment.Check this comparison (above: LSP enabled, below: disabled):
Color of it obviously depends on your colorscheme.
You can see more details in the issue that I've submitted to a wrong language server:

I will try to reduce unnecessary semantic coloring for comments.

Is there a workaround for this in the meantime? I'm not very familiar with treesitter, but if there's a snippet I could include in my configuration for this language server that would be great.

@heygarrett if you are using nvim, this snippet disables highlighting of TODO-comments from the lsp, so you keep the lsp highlighting:

I can confirm this issue still exists, the lsp token will have higher priority than the one defined by tree-sitter-comment.
The workaround has changed to:
