hi! i'm trying to use geany with the D programming language. for some reason, "string" doesn't seem to be registering with the highlighter as a builtin keyword.

how can i fix this?
I believe `string` is a library type, not a keyword.
You could add it to [the `primary` key](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/0a0b4b000cf18e837b921057a461ad05a08e41d3...). Alternatively, you could add it to [the `types` key](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/0a0b4b000cf18e837b921057a461ad05a08e41d3...) if you wanted to highlight it different from built-in types and keywords.
according to https://dlang.org/spec/lex.html#string_postfix, it seems to be a builtin alias.
huh, that's odd... when i open filetypes.d via the tools menu, it seems to only have the line `[build-menu]` in it ? is there a different filetypes.d i should be changing somewhere?
You probably opened it and saved it once before, and its saved in the user config so as to not modify the system files.
