Hi,
I wrote a simple little plugin which moves the VTE into the sidebar. The purpose/rational is described in the README at:
https://github.com/codebrainz/geany-sidebarterm
You can see a screenshot of the plugin in action here:

Nice, thanks for working on this. I think it will be useful in my working with Geany. The plug-in configures, builds and loads fine in Geany 0.20 (svn >= r5478), but I cannot find a way to actually move vte to sidebar.
If you care to test it out, either get the source from the github repository linked above or from this tarball:
https://github.com/downloads/codebrainz/geany-sidebarterm/sidebarterm-0.0.1....
I'm not very good with Autotools yet, but it seems to configure/compile/install fine here.
I've also made an attempt to modify the Geany source itself in order to add an option to choose the terminal location from the preferences dialog,
I cannot find this pref (although it should probably be located in 'Edit > Plugins Prefs' dialogue). Any suggestions?
Regards Liviu
however I'm not very familiar with Geany's source so I couldn't figure out how to make the preferences stick after Geany is restarted. If anyone is interested, the patch can be found here:
https://github.com/codebrainz/geany-sidebarterm/blob/master/geany_vte.patch
Assuming the patch applies OK (I removed a bunch of noise by hand), you can see it's almost entirely working with the exception of the preference sticking around on restart of Geany. The preference does get applied when the Preferences dialog is opened.
Any comments, feedback and pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
