Byte data type not change color to blue

I believe in the old IDE, the data type "byte" changed color to blue. In the current IDE beta.5, it does not appear to do so. I am on macOS Big Sur.

The colors have no significance, and the compiler is color-blind.

That's right. The colors have no significance to the complier.

The colors are aides to the developer however. That's why I made this post.

Thanks for your report @M_James_O. This is being tracked by the Arduino IDE developers here:

Monaco editor: some keywords (type, CONSTANT) are not properly coloured

topic: code type: imperfection criticality: medium

### Describe the problem Some keywords/types/CONSTANTS do not get proper colo…uring in the Monaco editor. ### To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Create a Sketch 1. Replace its content with the following ```C++ byte myNumber = 0; void setup(){ pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); pinMode(3, INPUT); } void loop(){ digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); delay(500); } ``` ### Expected behavior `byte`, `OUTPUT`, `INPUT`, `LOW`, `HIGH` should be coloured as type and CONSTANTS ### Arduino IDE version 2.0.0-beta.7 ### Operating system - Windows - macOS ### Additional context Also reported at: - https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1785 - https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1485 - https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/890 - https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/108 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/pinmode-output-input-and-input-pullup-do-not-change-color/861049/1 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/pinmode-output-input-and-input-pullup-do-not-change-color/861049/3 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/pinmode-output-input-and-input-pullup-do-not-change-color/861049/11 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/code-colouring-boolean-vs-char/1033122 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-ide-2-0-editor-text-color-mismatch-on-keyword-byte/1033975 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/disimproved-editor-2-x/1049962 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/ide-v2-0-2-program-interface-functions/1055809/3 ### Issue checklist - [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues?q=) - [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest [nightly build](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide#nightly-builds) - [X] My report contains all necessary details
