Is it possible to create a filedef for a single file? For example instead of defining the extension as "*.txt", could it be "todo.txt"?
Should work fine. Make a custom filetype as shown in the Geany manual, and then in the filetype_extensions.conf file, use `todo.txt` instead of the pattern `*.txt`. I believe Makefiles already do this.
Secondly, how can I set highlighting for "any string starting with @". Is that possible?
I believe there is a plugin that highlights TODO and FIXME and such. Otherwise you could do it by writing your own plugin. I'm not aware of a way to do it without writing a plugin.
