How do you change JavaScript highlighting in gedit?

I'm using gedit as a JavaScript editor, but it has very bad highlighting for some keywords, like "static".

Can I change the highlighting in gedit for a specific language?

You can edit the language specification using this command:

gksu gedit /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/javascript.lang

To remove the special highlighting of static change search for

<keyword>static</keyword>

and comment it out with

<!--<keyword>static</keyword>-->
