You can edit existing sets of keywords, you just can't add your own

As only one keyword set is supported, I don't think you want
functions/procedures/variables highlighted the same as keywords, but
maybe we could add the standard types. Do you want to make a patch?

This is already supported - see above.

If you want to request other keyword styles at the Scintilla project,
go ahead.
