I'm trying to create .awk extension, cloning from Perl/.pl. ### Preamble Cloning `/usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf` to `~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf` and changing line `Perl=*.pl;*.perl;*.pm;*.agi;*.pod;` to `Perl=*.pl;*.perl;*.pm;*.agi;*.pod;*.awk;` allowed awk files to be viewed as perl; that's a start. Now I want to add extra keywords. ### Work Done So I undo the `~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf` Perl changes, add additional line of `Awk=*.awk;` then clone `/usr/shared/geany/filedefs/filetypes.perl` to `~/.config/geany/filetypes.awk`, making relevant changes, and it doesn't work; awk files show as plain text. **What have I done wrong, or overlooked?** My changes were (sorry; compare went backwards): ``` --- /home/xxx/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.awk +++ /home/xxx/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.perl @@ -1,4 +1,3 @@ -# 2020-07-11 copied from /usr/shared/geany/filedefs/filetypes.perl # For complete documentation of this file, please see Geany's main documentation [styling] # Edit these in the colorscheme .conf file instead @@ -53,20 +52,17 @@ format=string_2
