To create a custom file type, go to Settings > Editor > File Types, and then in the Recognized File Types panel hit the + to create your RenPy file type. Fill it out using the settings below the break.
Once it's been set up, go to the File Name Patterns in the panel to the right and add *.rpy to the list for RenPy files.
Lastly, if you want to minimize hassle from Github when working with RenPy projects, you can click on Ignored Files and Folders at the top and add the following:
- *.rpyc
- *.rpym
- *.rpymc
- game/cache
- game/saves
- errors.txt
- log.txt
- traceback.txt
Basic Syntax Highlighting settings at the top are as follows:
- Line Comment: #
- Only at line start: unchecked
- Block Comment Start: """
- Block Comment End: """
- Hex Prefix: blank
- Number Postfixes: blank
- Support paired braces: checked
- Support paired parens: checked
- Support paired brackets: checked
- Support string escapes checked
