[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Better highlighting for YAML keys (#1838)

[elextr]

@FMuro sorry for the delay simply missed your comment above, just ping if you don't get responses in a few weeks and you are still interested, there is such a thing as being _too_ patient waiting 6 months :grin: 

What I meant (and I presume @b4n meant) by "does the wrong thing" is that it mixes semantics by using "type" for "identifiers". The "proper" fix is for the Scintilla lexer to style keys as something else than "identifier", and the notebook++ lexer offered on the Scintilla issue from #1853 seems to do that, adding a new "key" semantic.  But AFAICT that new lexer hasn't happened yet.

On the other hand YAML does not have the concept of "type" so if it suits YAML users I guess it can't hurt to use "type" highlighting for "identifiers" which means keys IIUC.  @b4n any comment, or will merge in a week or two.
