Greetings,
I would like to introduce myself by proposing a new feature for Geany.
Welcome and nice work!
Thanks :-)
When dealing with large bibliography files with lots of Bibtex items I
was
missing an overview of the entries in the sidebar of the editor.
Recently,
I got so annoyed of scrolling around in my files that I decided to do something.
The result I'd like to propose is a ctags parser which is a modified version of the tex-parser already present. So far, the new bibtex parser parses the entry types listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX#Entry_types It extracts and
aggregates
their identifiers. I modified some of the other source files so that the identifiers are
now
listed in the sidebar of the editor.
If you would like to have a look, please see the branch in my git-fork: https://github.com/TwlyY29/geany/tree/bibtex-parser I will be happy to create a pull request there if you are interested.
The only obvious thing I can see that may block a PR being merged is that - since Ctags has started being maintained again - it would be nice to upstream[0] the parser there as well. There's currently an effort underway to get our Ctags fork in sync with upstream.
Ok. I couldn't exactly figure out your plans in this regard. That's why I thought integrating it directly into geany would be the pragmatic way to go. But I'll see if I can get it to work with the Ctags framework as well.
The parser is now part of Ctags: https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/pull/2137

Other than that, it looks good and I don't see any reason a PR wouldn't be merged.
I'll create the pull request then ;-)
Best Mirco
