Since the 3 commits on June 2016, the Tasks functionality has stopped working on non-C files (i.e. .c and .h work fine, filling up the tasks) like .vhd
The 3 commits in June reworked the task-keywords detection loop and limited it to search only within comments.
Now it doesn't find tasks in .vhd files, even if the "TODO" keyword is within a .vhd comment, which is otherwise visually styled in the editor as defined in filetypes.vhdl, so that geany does indeed detect VHDL comments fine.

I found Geany via a reference in the "python crash course" and I had never heard of it but I was curious... this code was updated almost two months ago and very little activity.
My question is this, what is the unique functionality of Geany that would make anyone use it over say sublime, atom, vim, emacs, Jupyter notebook, Pycharm or a dozen other widely used products or even Visual Studio.
I'm operating on ignorance here, having never had someone even say the word "Geany like Genie?" and wanted to know what is the point of Geany, what does it do that is special other than, text editor over a network which seems to be such a common function that it seems practically standard nowadays.
Perhaps Geany is a holdover from the Fortran days and is still being used by loyalists or?

When `Tools->Configuration Files ...` is used to edit a config file it is copied in its entirety to the buffer, so when it is saved it overrides all the settings in the system filetype file, not just the ones that the user changes. So system filetype files distributed with new versions of Geany will be ignored.
Suggest when the file is loaded into the buffer it be prefixed by `# ` to make all contents comments, so the user only need uncomment those they edit and so only those entries will override new system files.

Currently there are 30+ "programming languages", 20+ "scripting languages", 9 "markup languages" and some "Misc" languages.
The first two categories are so big the menu (Document->Set Filetype->) won't fit on screen (at least with a laptop).
Especially the first should be broken up. This is a call for suggestions of how that should be done.
Otherwise I will make a pull request breaking them up in a reasonable but somewhat arbitary way, rough popularity measure and degree of support. :grin:

_Story:_
Besides searching for keywords like variables or unique words in codes, one also sometimes just want to search for special symbols like "\t" or "\n" for some reasons. One would activate "regular expression" for this, but still, "\n" will not be found, unless "multi-line matching" is activated.
_Suggesting:_
To have an extra option for **multi-line matching** is somehow useless, this **should** obviously **be the default if searching for regular expression**. This also would simplify the search/replace dialog a bit.
