Highlight the jQuery $ variable in Sublime Text 3 (build 3103)
In Feb 2016, the update to build 3103 broke a custom theme of mine, mostly in regard to Javascript. I really miss the ability to target the $, it seems that it's now under the scope: meta.function-call.with-arguments.js variable.function.js when modifying the theme. I want to know if there's a way to bypass or over-rule the $ sign, perhaps some REGEX or a way to add scope into the .tmLanguage file, so that I may color it differently from other "variable functions". Until the unpaid/non-dev Sublime Text 3 is updated >= build 3106, follow these instructions to theme your $ variable in JavaScript
