    Once again, for Kate 3.10.5 the config file is different. That's a good reason to always make these sorts of changes through the GUI Menu. Commented Sep 15, 2015 at 18:53
  • After making any such change to the highlighting settings, it seems necessary to close the files and reopen them for the highlighting to work. Commented Sep 15, 2015 at 18:54
  • @Octopus, thank you, I added that step. Me too, I hate when they change the same thing in successive releases. It makes its administration too hard. Commented Sep 15, 2015 at 20:48

    @Bennypr0fane , The higher priority number is the one used in case same extension is supported by multiple syntax-highlighting. The OP was having C++ highlighting applied on .h header files, so we raise the priority of Fortran highlighting to be applied instead. Well yes, but it takes time to check each through GUI one by one, so best is to open the configuration file directly katemoderc. I didn't use KDE for while, so configuration format, path & filename may be changed in late releases. Check the other answer here unix.stackexchange.com/a/410519/12209 .
