But how to map each token to distinct TextAttributesKey? As IElementType is returned by the jflex lexer, which means that I have to return different token type in my flex file, the only way I know is to use the lexer states:

<NAMESPACE> {
  {IDENTIFIER} {return TYPE1;}
}

But you told me not to use it if only for highlight purpose?

Sorry I didn't find the way to do so at: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/syntax-highlighter-and-color-settings-page.html#define-a-syntax-highlighter
