I'd like to ask/discuss if self could be added as a keyword in the geany syntax highlighter.

While it is a convention and technically not a keyword, it is used as a defacto keyword.
It is used and treated as a keyword in teaching materials, including the official
python documentation whose syntax highlighter also highlights it as a keyword.

Most syntax highlighters and text editors consider it to be a keyword.

KDE/QT: Kate/Kwrite, KDevelop, QTCreator, Featherpad, etc
GtkSourceView: Gedit, Gnome Text, Gnome Builder, Mousepad, etc
CudaText, Lazarus, and other Lazarus or SynEdit based apps
VSCode
Sublime Text
PyCharm

Anyway, I just wanted to put this up as a discussion. I set it as a draft for that reason.

If it is able to be added, please let me know if my changes here are enough. I think I made
changes in all the places I needed to.

Thanks!
