Adding keywords if a line starts with a certain word
I would like to add additional keywords if the first word or first 4
characters of the statement is snit.
snit::type dog {
method {tail wag} {} {return Wag, wag}
method {tail droop} {} {return Droop, droop}
}
Since snit is there then I would like to added method as a keyword.

Your language here uses some definition/syntax with which I'm not
familiar (might be smalltalk?). I'm not sure what you mean that
you would like method added as a keyword. Do you want to add a
third method line? Having some before and after descriptions
of the code might help clarify matters.
If you just want to perform actions on snits, and assuming you
use consistent indentation such that snit:: is always at the
beginning of the line, and its closing } is also always at the
beginning of the line, you can do things like
:g/^snit::/.+,/^}/-s/regexp/replacement/g
or you can add fixed text lines like
:g/^snit/put ='method {tail falloff} {} {return Ouch, ouch!}'
Or you might be talking about Vim's syntax-highlighting, in which
case:
do you want to just highlight snit?
:match Keyword /^snit/
Or do you want to dynamically create syntax-highlighting
definitions based on things found in your method defintions?
With a bit of clarification, there's likely a fairly easy solution.

Snit is an OO extension to Tcl.

What I am looking for is if snit is the first word then method will
be added as a keyword and colored.

Yes, I believe that is correct. Actually it might be easier to find if
snit is anywhere in the file at the beginning of the line (it will
always be at the beginning) and then adding some extra keywords in to be
colored.

Did I clarify anything? I hope so.
