A method of decoding video data, comprising: receiving, from bitstream, video data corresponding to a non-skip mode coded block; determining a parameter set associated with the non-skip mode coded block; if the parameter set satisfies a first condition, retrieving a first syntax element from the bitstream; if the parameter set satisfies a second condition, retrieving a second syntax element from the bitstream; if the parameter set satisfies a third condition, retrieving a third syntax element from the bitstream; decoding the video data corresponding to the non-skip mode coded block using palette mode when the first syntax element and the third syntax element have the first value; decoding the video data using intra prediction mode when the first syntax element has the first value and the third syntax element has a second value; and decoding the video data using inter prediction mode when the first syntax element has the second value.
