Some progress, thanks to you, Colomban.

But, still some questions:

What is meant in the wiki by:

- "use /usr/local/bin/check_json %f as the compile command"? Under "Set Build Commands"
 I have many choices where to place the command, but I do not see a Compile command. 
 I do see a "Make" and "Make Custom Target" commands.

- "..and ([^:]+):([0-9]+) as the Error Regular Expression" is pasted in the "Error 
 regular expression" field immediately below wherever I paste the compile command?

Finally, if I am successful, I would be pleased to rewrite this wiki page to make it 
clearer for dummies like me.


Thanks,

RF

The Geany wiki provides instructions on how to add json support.

But I have run into problems:

- I cannot find |filetypes_extensions.conf|, the file I need to
modify on my Linux Ubuntu system.

It may not already exist in your user config, but it's supposed to be in
~/.config/geany/.  You can also open it for editing using
Tools->Configuration files->filetype_extensions.conf from inside Geany.

- I assume I deed to add the new filetypes.JSON.conf to the
/usr/share/geany folder

No, this is the system path, to add a filetype for your user, add it in
~/.config/geany/filedefs/

Can anyone help me add json support to an otherwise outstanding code
editor?
