Issue description

The following code is not parsed correctly:

func example():
    set("theme/font_color", Color.BLUE if value >= 1 else Color.RED)

The first argument is not parsed as a string (it's not coloured as one).

Then the formatter adds a space after the >, which breaks the script:

func example():
    set("theme/font_color", Color.BLUE if value > = 1 else Color.RED)

Steps to reproduce

Create a new GDScript file, paste the following code and format the document:

func example():
    set("theme/font_color", Color.BLUE if value >= 1 else Color.RED)

The first argument is not parsed as a string (it's not coloured as one).

A little bit more than the first argument is broken, don't you think?

It appears that the rules for defining setters and getters are interfering here. I don't know what your 'set' function is, but as a workaround you can try explicitly adding self.:

func example():
    self.set("theme/font_color", Color.BLUE if value >= 1 else Color.RED)

The getter/setter highlighting rules were rather complicated to get working in the first place, so I can't promise a quick fix for this.

Thanks for looking into it.

A little bit more than the first argument is broken, don't you think?

Probably, but I read left to right and I noticed the error when I got to the first argument, so that's what I put in my exception.

I don't know what your 'set' function is,

It's actually a built-in method of the Object class, not a function I have defined:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_object.html#class-object-method-set

The getter/setter highlighting rules were rather complicated to get working in the first place, so I can't promise a quick fix for this.

I understand. It's not something that blocks development or could cause issues in-game, so no worries.
