Research direction

Locate the syntax-highlighting grammar that defines the unary and logical operator scopes, then inspect the regex for the reported trailing |!. Verify the ! operator is classified in the intended scope and confirm the highlighting behavior in a PowerShell editor.

  • Your primary theme: Monokai Dimmed
Issue Description

The NOT logical operator ! is duplicated in the unary operator (-split/-join) and in the logical operator scope, and the unary operator scope seems to take precedence.

I think this is just an accident of a |! left at the end of the unary scope's regex.

Isn't unary operators those like ++ and --? Okay, I suppose ! and -NOT operators are consider unary, but that's not where PowerShell Docs classified them.
