[FEATURE] Add support to optional colon for GOTO/GOSUB labels
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Add syntax support for using colons in GOTO and GOSUB labels.
Though I've never seen it "in the wild", I was surprised to discover that the syntax described is permissible in both D3 and QM.
Code was actually written in INFO-BASIC, part of Prime Information (back in the early 80's). It went through some updates when we transitioned to an IBM RS/6000 with Universe and UV Basic.
Thanks for the reply. I hadn’t seen that syntax used before even though PR1ME Information was the second MultiValue system that I worked on.
If you are interested in being part of the community team that works on the VS Code extension we would love to have you or anyone else at your company.

You're welcome. I used Info-Basic and VMark Universe basic for over 19 years at a previous company, long since gone. I came across a backup of our software catalog that basically ran the company, and was surprised to find a VSCode extension for it. I will check out the community!
Adding $ and potentially other special characters to the list; QM, for instance, allows for $ in labels but the linter currently does not recognize them as valid.
