Stick to SciTE. It takes almost no learning effort and meets everyone
of those requirements. As far as customerization goes, SciTE can be
customerized quite well. In fact, it can even be scripted with Lua. You
seem to be using the single file executable which does not come with
the configuration files. Otherwise, I cannot see how you could be
missing this ability.

Try this one instead if you are on Windows.

You need to edit the file python.properties to add keywords.

Windows - C:\Program Files\SciTe\python.properties
Debian - /usr/share/scite/python.properties
