-I have one setup that sends highlit text to ''sort'' when I press ''Ctrl+1'', which alphabetises it. Nice for CSS.

+====Context Actions====
+Like external commands, you can use the single context action to send bits of text off to other places. There being only one is a bit limiting, but. I have mine set to send stuff to [[Firefox]], which I use for URLs. To set:
+  - ''Edit > Preferences > Tools''
+  - Find the 'Context action:' field
+or
+  - Edit ''~/.config/geany/geany.conf''
+  - Find ''context_action_cmd='' and add your command here.
+I have ''firefox %s''. If you want send stuff to [[duckduckgo|DDG]] use ''firefox %%"https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=%s"%%'', etc.
+You can also have a different context action configured per file type. To do this:
+  - Copy the files you want from ''/usr/share/geany/filedefs'' to ''~/.config/geany/filedefs''
+  - Add your command to ''context_action_cmd=''
+I have ''%%https://developer.mozilla.org/en-GB/search?q=%s%%'' for [[CSS]] and [[HTML]] files, for example.

+==== Syntax Highlighting =====
+To add new filetypes to existing syntax highlighting styles:, you can add them to ''~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf''. Currently mine looks like:
+<code ini>
+# Adds to defaults /usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf
+[Extensions]
+Conf=*.ssa;*.ass;
+[Groups]
+</code>
