Hi Krasimir, The Scintilla editing component (everything in the Scintilla directory) is an independent project at http://www.scintilla.org. Geany tries to only use unmodified versions from that project. Could you please send your changes to Scintilla and they will flow through to Geany. I probably should let you know that Scintilla has just undergone a significant and partly incompatible change in lexer structure, so your patches may need to be adjusted for the Lexer of the new Scintilla.
