Many code editors allow automatic reformatting of the code while typing, without losing the cursor position.
I often use that feature to quickly correct indentation, so that I don't need to do it by hand, or to verify that braces and parantheses are correctly placed and balanced.
Unfortunately, it seems that the only option to reformat C code in geany is to select all the text (CTRL+A) and then to pass it to the external command (astyle or indent) via CTRL+1 (or via Edit->Format->Send selection to in menu), after the command is properly defined.
It would be nice, if geany allowed repositioning the cursor to the original position (or at list to line with the same number if reformatting breaks or combines lines).
Is it possible to write a macro or script that first stores the current line number, then selects all text, passes it to the external command, and finally attempts to put the cursor to the line with the stored number?

Hello,
When using Geany, after some time or some action that I could not identify, Geany goes into "buggy mode":
- moving the cursor in the text becomes significantly slower,
- the vertical scroll bar repaints about every second even when I do not move or do anything (I can see a slight blink of the scrollbar when it repaints) (this happens when Geany window has the focus).
Details below.

Debian: testing
Window manager: Xfce
$ geany -V
geany 1.33 (construit le Apr 16 2018 avec GTK 3.22.29, GLib 2.56.1)
Disable plugins? -> problem still occurs
Window full screen? -> problem still occurs
Output to consol? -> no text is displayed on the console when the problem occurs
CPU usage in buggy mode? When moving the cursor with the Up/Down keys inside the text of the Geany window, without causing lines to scroll...
| | No movement | Up/Down keys |
| --------- | :---------------------: | :--------------------: |
| geany | ∼ 0 % | ∼ 14 % |
| Xorg | ∼ 1 % | ∼ 70 % |
Hello Geany, do you really need all that CPU for moving a cursor in the text???

With Geany 1.33 built against GTK+ 3, probably any theme but at least with Adwaita, Adwaita Dark, Arc and Arc Darker, Scintilla's internal horizontal scrollbar trough keeps flashing off then on, almost as if its adjustment is being re-calculated or something.
I cannot figure out what triggers it, it seems to be pretty random. I tried to capture it with screen capture software but it didn't show up, likely due to the way screen capture on X works. I think I'd have to use my cell phone to record my monitor to capture it.
It's not a huge deal but it's distracting since in my DE I have the panel on the bottom and the window buttons for each app will blink when they need your attention. The scrollbar flashing has the same effect of grabbing my attention if I'm not focusing my vision on it.
I don't remember ever seeing this with GTK+ 2 build, but it might've just been so fast as to not be visible or something.

At: menu/view/ change font...
It would be so much easier to choose a desired font family (most people only know a couple of fonts) if the families were classified.
I believe a good classification is into monospace vs proportional fonts.
Thanks!

I am using Geany within Mac, OS Sierra, 10.12.2. The cursor cannot grap the buttons because it should always be higher than the position of the button. This is really annoying. Can I get help? I have already tried to reinstall Geany 1.29. It did not help. Could be an incompatability with Sierra.
Thank you.

After trying for a while, geany is really easy to use.
But it could be great if it could support more shortcuts:
**Suggested shortcuts:**
- To upper case
e.g `ctrl + u`
- To lower case
* camel case,
*
* quick scroll down/up,
via:
ctrl + mouse wheel,
*

Hi I'm on a raspberrry with the latest version of Raspian and I use Geany.
I want to know how to change the color of the menu and the toolbar in dark because it's very bright.
Thanks !
Bleety.

All,
I installed geany 1.33 on the latest opensuse leap 15 beta. One thing that is a bit awkward to work with when using Geany in a VM (display res 1382x864) is the toolbar icon width which is much much wider than earlier releases causing the Search box, Jumpto Line input, Jumpto button and Quit to be pushed off toolbar adn ellipsed (or actually the down triangled). I know this (as well as icon height spacing, and height of edit-entry box, combo-box, etc.. has been a challenge with Gtk+3, but are there any tweak that can be added to condense the icons to more of a normal toolbar spacing so that all the icons fit again?
Since they all work, this isn't a bug, but it is more a feature request - if possible, to regain some of the toolbar real estate lost in the Gtk+2 -> Gtk+3 update.

Geany supports Ruby but not Crystal
https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal
The syntax is very similar to Ruby so is there any
way of adding the same syntax highlight on Ruby to Crystal in Geany?
