Thank you Matthew,

So I need to copy python.c into some other file (e.g. snakemake.c) and make 
changes to it?

What should I do after that? How do I compile it and where so I store it such 
that Geany will use it?


It would be a lot easier just to tweak python.c to add your keywords and then make a patch you can apply locally before building Geany from source. Adding a whole new parser and filetype is significantly more work compared to modifying the existing one and creating a "custom filetype" (see user manual).

Subject: Re: [Geany-Users] Defining Functions for Geany “Filetype”

Hi, I am using Geany as my text editor. I have started working on
snakemake, which, from a syntax point-of-view, is Python with a few
modifications. Python functions are defined by: def bla:
bunch_of_code

snakemake adds the definition of "rules" in a similar way: rule bla:
bunch_of_code

Geany presents in the side bar all the Python functions, but I also
want it to present all the rules. However, I was not able to find how
to define the keywords for a function in the file
geany/filetypes.python (I want to add the keyword rule).

Does anyone have any idea?


It's baked into the ctags parser[0]. Adding a new keyword like this would 
require modifying the existing (or adding a new) parser.
