txt2tags tagmanager patch
by Forgeot Eric 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

Hello, do I need to add something for the patch to be included in the geany repository? I've seen you talked about some "filedefs/filetypes.*" configuration, does it mean it would replace such definitions in the future?

Geany 0.18 (configure.in) has hidden depends on 'which' utility.
by Erik Southworth 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Just a normal build: but a strange configure error did occur. $$$ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking dependency style of g++... gcc3 configure: error: No C++ compiler not found. Please install a C++ compiler. $$$ I found it's just a ``which`` in configure.in. QQQ # check for C++ compiler explicitly and fail if none is found, do this check # after AC_PROG_CXX has set the CXX environment variable which $CXX >/dev/null 2>&1 if test "x$?" != "x0"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([No C++ compiler not found. Please install a C++ compiler.]) fi QQQ I didn't know that the ``which`` utility was considered a compiler. :p How about just using a shell builtin, ``hash``, ``type -P`` or just ``eval $CXX --version`` as a test instead? ------------------------------------------------------------------ configure.in:18 : which $CXX >/dev/null 2>&1 configure.in:51 : GIT=`which git 2>/dev/null` configure.in:60 : SVN=`which svn 2>/dev/null` Found 3 matches for "which". -- -Erik S

Geany.txt cleanup
by Lex Trotman 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi All, Attached is a patch providing some cleanups for geany.txt. NOTE: There are a few TODOs in the file that need to be checked before the geany.html is re-created (Addons plugin compatible :-). These are things that I didn't know the answers to. I have minimised the reflows I applied, so that the patch didn't become too big, Some more wouldn't hurt but they are not critical. There are images called out in geany.txt that are missing from the doc/images directory. I have not created those because I can't seem to get a theme that looks like the other images, so someone who can generate screen captures that match the existing ones should do it. Cheers Lex

Unicode code entry
by Lex Trotman 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi, I am having difficulty with Unicode code point insertion. Basically it doesn't work and I can't see how it could as described in the manual. I have control-Shift-u undefined, but since on_key_press_event catches keybindings before they get to GTK, all control-shift keybindings for hex characters (a-f) must be undefined. This means many of the find keybindings must be undefined. But even then, with control-shift held digits are seen as !@#$%^&*() and rejected. Am I doing something wrong or has the behaviour changed? Using SVN head or 0.18 and GTK 2.12. Cheers Lex

interactive typeahead seach for the sidebar
by Thomas Martitz 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

So, I'm always having multiple dozens of files open, some of which define even more symbols. At that point I began to really miss the search you can do in the file open/save dialog (while typing search, the gtk docs say interactive or typeahead search). I looked at it and got it sort of working (see http://www.alice-dsl.net/simonemartitz/geany.png), however I ran into some problems. a) switching focus to the editor widget. When using the keyboard to do the search, the first match will be selected. As of now, selecting something in the list automagically switches the focus to the editor. That is of course unwanted while you're searching as it will stop and break the search basically upon entering the first character. In a work around, I disabled this switching if the selection happened by using the keyboard. This works well for the symbol list, but not at all for the open file list (which still changes the focus). b) opening files doesn't bring it in front anymore. I removed the "changed" signal for the open file list as it's incompatible with searching. but that broke opening files as the mechanism to bring the open file up relies on the sidebar here. For this, I thought the "bringing the new doc up" code could be moved to the opening document code (document.c), and the sidebar handler just does a call document_open_file(). Would that work? So, I basically want to discuss about a) if this feature is wanted and b) about the two problems that showed up. I really love this feature already. Attached is my diff. Best regards.

API: plugin_configure_single() symbol like old configure() symbol
by Nick Treleaven 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

Hi, As some plugin authors didn't like having to implement plugin_configure properly and we now have a multiple-plugin configure dialog in SVN, I added a plugin_configure_single symbol: http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/pluginsymbols_8c.html#a5d574ade657601… Any plugins that don't implement plugin_configure properly will now annoy users using the multiple-plugin configure dialog, so please change them to use plugin_configure_single ;-) Of course, implementing plugin_configure properly is still the best way. Regards, Nick

'Go to Line' keybinding tries to focus the toolbar entry even if toolbar is hidden
by Eugene Arshinov 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

Hi all. The trouble is that I have the toolbar hidden, but there is 'go to line' entry on it. In this case 'go to line' dialog does not appear after I use the keybinding, as the original handler checks whether 'go to line' entry is present, but does not check whether the toolbar itself is visible. The attached patch seems to fix the problem. Best regards, Eugene.

Reflow & long lines
by Lex Trotman 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi, A suggestion on the reflow block function. Currently it appears to use the long-lines marker column as its right edge, but I would have expected it to use the line breaking column so that it is consistent with newly typed input. What do others think? Cheers Lex

[question] Using make --quiet to build geany-plugins (was: Failed to compile geany-plugins with latest geany)
by Eugene Arshinov 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi all. I have a little insignificant question related to make and autotools. When I compile some little programs, I usually use `make --quiet', so that `make' does not print executed commands, and it is easy to see compiler messages. Unfortunately, when building geany-plugins with `make --quiet', I still see "libtool: compile: ..." and "libtool: link: ..." messages (see example in citation below). Can I make libtool quiet too? Best regards, Eugene.

Re : abc tagmanager patch
by Forgeot Eric 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

>I don't want to add any arbitraryfiletypes. >We should limit the list of filetypes to those which are commonly used. >I think this "abc" should not be added. well, it's a pity because every major text editor I know has support for abc: - Emacs has an external plugin: http://www.geocities.com/mkjunker/abc-mode.el.html (It's also easier to include external support for this kind of editor because they don't need to be recompiled) - Vim has built-in syntax hightlight for ABC, it's included in the svn: http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/runtime/syntax/abc.vim?revis… - Kate has built-in syntax highlight too: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kate/syntax/data/abc.xml?view=markup I'm developping also a linux live-cd dedicated to the use of ABC notation, among other things. It uses the Gnome desktop and Geany as the main text editor: http://anamnese.online.fr/site2/esclinux/esclinux2009_gnome1.png I can patch myself every new release of Geany to get the abc support, but modifying 6 files just for this is quite an heavy work. Only Geany has such amazing feature such as the tagmanager, it's the reason I wish Geany can support many filetypes. If it was only a matter of including a definition file into my ~/.geany, I wouldn't bug you for including it into the svn, I'd only propose it on my website. Here is a picture of Geany displaying a tunebook: http://anamnese.online.fr/site2/esclinux/kde_geany_abc1.png
