Yes, I have several plugins at https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins,
but haven't gotten around to submitting a pull request to
geany-plugins, mainly because I need to take the time to figure out
how to integrate with the build system.
I realize some will think my plugins are partially redundant in
functionality to what geany already offers, but I still prefer to
use them as they do things a little differently in the ways I
prefer.
Here is a brief description of the plugins I've got with some
screenshots, many of which are just features I missed from gedit:
- external-tools = Allow running virtually any script,
passing in environment variables and gives the option to return
output in multiple ways like in the bottom panel, replace
highlighted text, or output to nothing. Gedit had this feature,
and I missed it as it allows for some incredible flexibility to
quickly write little macros in any language I want and make
plugins on the fly. I have plans to add a table output for CSV
or tab delimited output to go into in the bottom bar too.
Notice you can integrate meld and other tools now, just with a
simple bash script.
Tools configuration:
|
Dynamically added shortcuts based on
tools:
|
Tool output panel:
|
Menu entries created for tools (we could
add toolbar buttons too later):
|
- hide-menu = Hides the menu bar until you hover over it,
like the start bar in windows. Ideally, I'd rather move
everything to a compact menu, but I didn't find a place for it
when the toolbar is on the menubar. (Note the narrow horizontal
line which when hovered over, activates the menu's visibility)
- quick-find = Adds a side panel find in files search
harnessing ack-grep instead of grep. I know you can change what
search command you use in geany, but I like a few things about
this file searching:
- keeps focus on the search output, so you can just use the
arrows to select between the results
- faster than grep
- on the side panel, it gives you more space to just see a
vertical list
Quick Find panel:
|
Configurable shortcut:
|
- quick-line = Similar to the toolbar goto line, but in a
quick dialog-less pop-up, consuming no space on the toolbar
Mini, borderless window for line
navigation:
|
Configurable shortcut:
|
- quick-opener = quick dialog for finding any file by
regex as you type. You can use the keyboard to select the
entries that appear. I need to still make it so you can select
more than one.
Open dialog:
|
Plugin settings:
|
Configurable shortcut:
|
|
- quick-search = Inline incremental search that
highlights separate from the toolbar and the find dialog, and
even the "Addons" double click highlight plugin. like
quick-line, it doesn't take any space in a dialog-less pop-up
always in the top right of the document. It searches as you
type. Then use the shortcuts to quickly navigate between the
results.
Mini borderless window with an incremental search:

Configurable shortcuts:

They're fairly functional, although there may be some quirks to
work out, but I use them every day.
Thanks,
Steve

Steven,
right, I specifically want to avoid "doing the gedit" and put off
plugin developers (repeatedly). A rewrite will not be necessary,
but, if anything, a small modification to the compilation process
of the plugin (no source code changes). At least if what I'm
having in my mind works out.
Do you maintain plugins outside geany-plugins, and are these
publicly available?
Best regards

I concur completely. It's also possible
to lose some plugins entirely, as that's why I left gedit. I
figured if I have to rewrite my plugins anyway, I may as well
look at other editors/IDEs as possible candidates.

my gut feeling is that unless the effort
is minimal it risks those
plugins being unavailable for a while after the geany release
