What it highlights

The color scheme mirrors SQL, so it looks familiar in whatever theme you already use.

Formatting

Run Format Document to normalize operator casing and spacing and break grouped expressions onto indented lines:

(author:"Jane" OR author:"John") AND NOT filetype:pdf

becomes

(
    author:"Jane"
    OR author:"John"
)
AND NOT filetype:pdf

To format on save, add "[keql]": { "editor.formatOnSave": true } to your settings.
