Geany: Bash files syntax highlight

[surveyor3]

In geany .sh file have a syntax highlighting that's not quite good, compared i.e. to other editors like sublime. In particular when you have $(...) things inside the parenthesis are all colored in red.
Geany version: 1.31
Color combination: default
GTK version: 2.24.31
O.S.: Ubuntu 17.10
filetype: .sh

If you don't like the colours you can choose another colour scheme from those contributed by others or make your own.

@elextr I think @surveyor3 is complaining that the syntax inside of $() is not highlighted specifically, but only as a single $() block. In shell, $() is a command substitution, so the content inside it could be highlighted as normal syntax.

This is a Scintilla lexer limitation, see https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1033/

Oh, I thought it was just the orange that was the problem, ok.

[surveyor3]

Yes, it's not about the color itself but is about the thing that inside is all highlighted with the same color and it's not correct.
I did a screenshot to show you the issue.

Thanks for the attention and for all the good work in Geany.

I posted a PR in the scintilla project to fix this, see https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/merge-requests/22.
