Lua table keys not recognized as key words?

[Leadwerks]

In our integration, Lua methods are not being highlighted as keywords. For example, in the code below, CreatePivot is highlighted, but SetPosition is not, even though both are defined as key words.

local entity = CreatePivot(world)
entity:SetPosition(1, 2, 3)

The method highlighting is important for our users. Is this a setting that can be turned on?

If I define SetPosition as a keyword with index 0, it seems to be detected by itself, or as a method. If I define SetPosition using index 1, then it is only detected when it is by itself, and not a method or member. I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior or not.

Method highlighting, as described above, is not supported.

Keyword list 0 is for actual language reserved keywords like if and function which will be recognized in more circumstances than special identifiers specified in other lists.

Compound identifiers containing . and : are checked by segmented prefix. That is for ab.cd:yz the lexer checks whether ab is a special identifier, then ab.cd is checked, then ab.cd:yz. This is meant to allow lists of library functions with well-known bases like string.gmatch or editor:UserListShow.
