I tried that last week (sorry for not getting back here!). When I try to put ~75k characters in keyword list 3, npp crashes when I start it. Thinking about your earlier post that there may be a limit near 64k, I tried splitting the list into two sets and manually adding them to keyword lists 3 and 4, but that didn't work either. I can provide dump files if that will help anyone.
So it seems like there might be a limit to the total number of keywords in a language (in addition to the 30k textedit limit). That might make my alternative suggestion moot (add more keyword lists). I noticed some posts in the past couple days on adding spellchecker capability; maybe that's a work around for me. I could define a custom 'dictionary' with my keywords. Of course, that doesn't provide for highlighting in real time...
