Expected Behaviour
The self word should be highlighted as a keyword and not a variable.
Actual Behaviour
The self keyword seems to be recognized as a variable and not a keyword. The self keyword is not correctly highlighted. It seems highlighted as a variable and not as a keyword.
Reproduction steps
Use neovim with lua_ls and open a lua file and a theme with the self keyword. The self keyword is not correctly highlighted.
Additional Notes
