- `regex_flags`: `keyword.regex`, see the [Regex
PR](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/25332) for other Regex
scopes
- `@`: `punctuation.special`, as in Python
- `jsx_text`: `text.jsx`
- `=`: `operator` -> `punctuation.jsx.delimiter`, `punctuation` as in
[VS
Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/0fe195613ed9901f669cd0f799fe807f0189d029/extensions/html/syntaxes/html.tmLanguage.json#L78)

- added `jsx` scope to target JSX tokens specifically

```javascript
/**
 * @keyword comment
 */
@log
class X {
  render() {
    return (
      <div jsx_attribute="value">
        <Input onKeyPress={super.bind(this)}/>
        jsx_text
      </div>
    );
  }
}
const IDENTIFIER = true
```
