You don’t need a package for this, Sublime Text 3 already does this automatically [1].

How can I use it?

The simplest way seems to be to use the "Celeste" color scheme which implements this. Is this the only way? I'd like to use a dark theme, like the default Monokai.

Yes, “Celeste” is the only theme with support for semantic highlighting.

For dark mode, I use this project — https://github.com/cixtor/monnokay

Well, neat!

I haven't used the plugin since the ST2 days, so I didn't realize it was no longer needed.
