What Geany version are you using?

If 1.22 or newer...

Try changing the style of "keyword_4" named style in your colour scheme 
(default one is at bottom of filetypes.common).

Although I don't know TCL at all and didn't actually test changing this 
named style, the mappings all seem to be hooked up.
