[xed] How do I update JavaScript colors?

Methods such as
get coloured in blue, while others like
don't.
Is it possible to fix this manually?
I am using the Kate style scheme.

You can try modifying an existing color scheme, making your own or downloading some additional schemes..
The default scheme definitions can be found in
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles. They are plain text xml files so reasonably straightforward to edit as an end user.
If you copy one (or more) to somewhere in your home directory to act as a starting point for modification once done you can add your personalised scheme via xed's Install scheme button.
For javascript highlighting you many want to refer to the contents of
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/javascript.lang to guide you in making your modified scheme.
Also see
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSour ... yleSchemes for some alternative schemes you can download and then manually add to xed.
Also these should also work -

Hi on a further look focusing on your specific question.....
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/javascript.lang defines
substring as a
function, and maps functions to
def:builtin, which
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/kate.xml in turn sets as dark-blue.
forEach is not defined at all in
/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/javascript.lang so maybe tweaking that file to add the definition is the actual fix to your issue.
