[Geany-Users] Any way to make geany recognize modelines for syntax coloring?

[Karma Kolabor]

Ah, hmm, would you please like to make this case  insensitive?
You know, it would be really nice if it just worked out of the box...
modelines are such a common thing...
I do not know how to change case with a regex, maybe there is some way
to do that?
Any other solution to make geany support this are very welcome, thanks!
Have a nice day,
Karma
