In YAML, it's possible to define an alias name for a property, then call it later to copy its data in another property. For example : foo: bar: &whatever hello: Word baz: *whatever In this case, "baz" will contains { hello: World } However, in the editor, when defining the alias (foo: &myalias my_foo_content) the key (foo:) is well colored, but the value (&myalias my_foo_content) is not. When calling an alias (bar: *my_alias), the key (bar:) is well colored, but the alias is colored like a string. I think it should have a difference color for identifying aliases. In "foo: &myalias my_foo_content", foo: should have a color, &myalias another one, and my_foo_content another one.
