I was thinking of making a vim syntax reader as a plugin. It would be nice to start out small by only implementing the adapter that would read the vim file and translate it to set the appropriate formatting on the currently active document only. If the plugin goes well and is used often, it may be possible to implement it in the main project and allow the vim reader to act like a built in language.
Enrico or Nick may correct me but I think such a plugin would need deep access to Scintilla's functions and other stuff. Since I don't know the syntax of the mentioned vim files very well, wouldn't it be possible to just write a small tool (maybe a sh script) which is converting the file to Geany's format here and provide it in 'normal' way to Geany?
