I have a couple of simple plugins that open an external console window (e.g. gnome-terminal or konsole) and run a command. Is there any way to make the command run in the Terminal window (VTE) instead?
No. Geany VTE support is compile-time and even run-time option.
However, you can open a new tab in the messages panel from a plugin, and spawn your program in a vte terminal inside it. There would be 2 tabs with terminals, geany-s and yours; no conflicts between them.
Oh, and you don't have to g_module_open(vte), just link it. If I had some time and support from the main developers, I would have removed the runtime option.
