I found it!!

For some reason, I had 2 filetypes.JSON.conf files:

    /usr/share/geany/filetypes.JSON.conf
and
   /root/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.JSON.conf

This seems to have come about because I accessed Geany in supervisor mode to edit filetypes.JSON.conf.

In the meantime, I have merrily been editing /root/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.JSON.conf, while Geany, accessed in user mode uses /usr/share/geany/filetypes.JSON.conf.

What are "names"?

Perhaps I am using Name inappropriately. What I mean is the lowest element in a json file is a name:value pair (i.e., {"myVarName":"myVarValue"}). While not very important, I can see some merit in differentiating the name from the value.

The only way I have found so far to differentiate names from values is by setting lexer_filetype=YAML.

Thanks Matthew & Lex for all your help.
