Geany can detect a document’s filetype from an explicit Emacs-style mode declaration. The docs say:

The GEANY_DEFAULT_FILETYPE_REGEX default value is -\*-\s*([^\s]+)\s*-\*- which finds Emacs filetypes.

In fact, this only works if the captured name case-sensitively matches a Geany filetype name. So -*-Sh-*- works, but -*-sh-*- doesn’t. -*-reStructuredText-*- works in Geany, but not in Emacs, which expects -*-rst-*-.

Perhaps the Geany filetypes table should have an “Emacs mode name” field (like it already has a “human title” field), to be matched case-insensitively.

Failing that, at least the docs should be clarified.
