In geany .sh file have a syntax highlighting that's not quite good, compared i.e. to other editors like sublime. In particular when you have $(...) things inside the parenthesis are all colored in orange. Geany version: 1.31 Color combination: default GTK version: 2.24.31 O.S.: Ubuntu 17.10 filetype: .sh
If you don't like the colours you can choose another colour scheme from those [contributed by others](https://github.com/geany/geany-themes) or make your own.
@elextr I think @surveyor3 is complaining that the syntax inside of `$()` is not highlighted specifically, but only as a single `$()` block. In shell, `$()` is a command substitution, so the content inside it could be highlighted as normal syntax.
This is a Scintilla lexer limitation, see https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1033/

Oh, I thought it was just the orange that was the problem, ok.
Yes, it's not about the orange but is about the thing that inside is all highlighted in orange and it's not correct. I did a screenshot to show you the issue. 
Thanks for the attention and for all the good work in Geany.
I posted a PR in the scintilla project to fix this, see https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/merge-requests/22.
