[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Draft: Adds 'self' as keyword for Python syntax highlighting (PR #3023)

[newhoa]

I'd like to ask/discuss if `self` could be added as a keyword in the geany syntax highlighter.

While it is a convention and technically not a keyword, it is used as a defacto keyword.
It is used and treated as a keyword in teaching materials, including the official
python [documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html) whose syntax highlighter also highlights it as a keyword.

Most syntax highlighters and text editors consider it to be a keyword.

[KDE/QT](https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/blob/master/data/syntax/python.xml): Kate/Kwrite, KDevelop, QTCreator, Featherpad, etc
[GtkSourceView](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtksourceview/-/blob/master/data/language-specs/python.lang): Gedit, Gnome Text, Gnome Builder, Mousepad, etc
CudaText, Lazarus, and other Lazarus or SynEdit based apps
[VSCode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-textmate/blob/main/test-cases/themes/syntaxes/MagicPython.tmLanguage.json)
Sublime Text
PyCharm 

Anyway, I just wanted to put this up as a discussion. I set it as a draft for that reason.

If it is able to be added, please let me know if my changes here are enough. I think I made
changes in all the places I needed to.

Thanks!
