如何在VSCode中禁用TypeScript（或全局范围）的属性名高亮？

Got it, I totally get how distracting those highlighted property names (like name: in TypeScript) can be—they pull your focus away when you’re trying to dive into code logic. Let me walk you through a few ways to disable them, either just for TypeScript or across all languages in VS Code.

Option 1: Quick fix via VS Code’s Settings UI (no code needed) #

If you want a straightforward way to turn off all semantic highlighting for TypeScript (which includes those property names):

• Open the Settings panel: Press Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+, (Mac), or click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner and select "Settings".
• In the search bar, type typescript.semanticHighlighting.enabled.
• Uncheck the box next to this option. That’s it—TypeScript will stop highlighting property names (and other semantic tokens like types or functions).

Option 2: Precise control with settings.json #

If you only want to disable property name highlighting without touching other semantic highlights (like function or type colors), this is the way to go.

For TypeScript only #

1. Open settings.json: Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac), type "Open Settings (JSON)", and hit Enter.
2. Add this block to the file (replace #cccccc with your editor’s default text color to make property names blend in):

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "typescript": {
    "semanticTokens": {
      "property": {
        "foreground": "#cccccc"
      }
    }
  }
}

For all languages globally #

If you want to disable property name highlighting everywhere (not just TypeScript), use this instead:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "semanticTokens": {
    "property": {
      "foreground": "#cccccc"
    }
  }
}

Note for theme-specific issues #

If the above doesn’t work, your active theme might override these settings. Target your theme directly by adding its name in brackets:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "[Your Theme Name]": {
    "semanticTokens": {
      "property": {
        "foreground": "#cccccc"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Nuke all semantic highlighting globally #

If you don’t want any semantic highlights at all across every language, just set:

"editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": false
