I'm a new Geany user. First, thanks all developers for your hard work on a
great program.
The editor is amazing!

My question is about what Geany automatically does when a single quote
character (')
is placed in front of a word and if its possible to control that behavior.
I ask because one
language I'm currently developing in is Maxima and the single quote is an
operator (prevents evaluation).

For my colorscheme=zenburn.conf and lexer_filetype=C, when I type a single
quote before a word,
it italicizes the rest of the current line, and changes all colors to a
light red (overwriting any colors
per primary and secondary keywords I have defined in my
filetypes.Maxima.conf)

Are there any settings / knobs I can turn to modify this behavior, such as
lexer_properties or
settings, in the filetypes.*.conf file? Preferably, I'd like to avoid
writing my own lexer file to make this
small change; but if its necessary, I'd appreciate some advice on how and
where to make that
change in the src.


Hi,

You don't really say what change you want to make, but I think the style you're seeing is from an unterminated string highlighting[0]. You can at least change the colour/variant there, but with the C lexer it's always going to treat this state differently since it's an error in C/C++.

Matthew Brush
