Making certain words bold or italic [VSCode]

I am currently working with classes, and I would like the keyword "self" to stand out by making it bold.

I have searched around the internet and cannot find anything of use. I managed to get comments to turn italic but I can't figure out how to make certain words a specific font style.

Any ideas?

my current settings.json

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "textMateRules": [{
                "scope": "comment",
                "settings": {
                        "fontStyle": "italic"
                }
        }]
    },
    "json.schemas": [
    ]
    
    
}

You cannot make specific words bold or italic, you can only style tokens/scopes the way you want.

The simplest way to find the token for the words you want to style is to use the "Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes" option inspect

Then select the word you want to get the scope for

scopes

Style the active scope as you like in your settings.json
