EDIT: As Eric says, you may want to include var as well (you certainly should if you want to highlight all C# 3 contextual keywords).

If you're doing symbols too, you may want to include a pattern for =>

Nice Jon. Of course, "where" was not added originally as a LINQ contextual keyword, it was added as a contextual keyword for generic constraints, so now it is a contextual keyword twice over! It is debatable whether "var", which you omit, should be counted as a "LINQ keyword". It was added for LINQ scenarios but is not part of the query comprehension syntax.

Yes, my natural translation of the question was "what are the keywords for query expressions" - I hadn't even considered `var`...
