Notepad++ - highlight custom keywords

Is there any way for Notepad++ to highlight syntax with user added keywords, WITHOUT defining new language? I'd like to add highlighting for TODO/TBD/FIXME and some other, project specific keywords. Is that even possible?

From the blog article How to Organise your life with just a text file:

You can add keywords to Python with Settings > Style Configurator

I use the Now, Soon, and Later keywords (among others) to organize my projects. I chose Python because the folding is defined with Indents. You can add your own keywords and choose the color highlight for foreground and background colors.

For those that are visting this page (by a google search for example), there is an answer for the Ruby language given here. But as it works the same way for every other language, BoltClock answer is suitable for [given] language.

In short: Go to Settings > Style Configurator > Choose language > Click at KEYWORD / INSTRUCTION and add your own keyword.
