I currently have two Geany instances open. One is being used for a dedicated project; the other is a "scratch" instance I keep open for general-purpose rapid iteration.
I don't mind using the GNOME filepicker to open/save files when working on dedicated projects, but I tend to prefer the terminal for speed when I'm rapidly opening and closing things or when I need to create quick hacks without breaking mental flow.
Unfortunately, Geany wants to send *everything* to its "first instance" when invoked at the commandline. Due to coincidence, apparently this is the instance with the dedicated project in it. Soooo, I get to use the terminal with my dedicated projects, but am forced to use the filepicker (over NFS!!!) when doing quick hacks. Haha.
So. I found Geany's `--socket-file` parameter, but I do not understand how to use it *as only the master Geany instance has a socket file in `/tmp`!*
```
$ ls .config/geany/
colorschemes filedefs geany.conf geany_socket_darkstar__0 keybindings.conf plugins tags templates
$ readlink .config/geany/geany_socket_darkstar__0
/tmp/geany_socket.b5c4f11f
$ lsof | grep geany_socket
geany 17853 i336 5u unix 0xc2b68240 0t0 4654382 /tmp/geany_socket.b5c4f11f
$ ls /tmp/geany_socket*
/tmp/geany_socket.b5c4f11f
$ ps aux | grep [g]eany
i336 17853 0.1 1.7 103224 36696 ? Sl Mar04 74:50 geany
i336 17955 0.0 1.6 105060 34036 ? Sl Mar04 25:23 geany
$
```
I'm curious why `--socket-file` exists at all. There are no options that allow me to start an instance with a specified socket file of my own choosing, for instance; I have to rely on Geany creating the socket file itself so I can use it.

A more appropriate highlighting for keys in YAML files. The improvement can be noticed in any color scheme, particularly in the default one, where keys would have the same color and face than the ordinary text.

The treebrowser context menu items "Open externally" and "Open Terminal" don't work on Windows 10.
It doesn't lunch any external application.
However, the "Open Externally" function in built-in plugin Filebrowser is working correctly.

When open files are deleted from the filesystem, Geanys behaviour is not very intuitive and somehow contraproductive. It offers to save the file again and does not give me the possibility to close the document.
I suggest to change the dialogue to
"File was not found on the drive. Close the file and discard content?
Yes (Close the tab, do NOT suggest to save it again.)
Yes (Do noting, keep the tab open),
Main use case:
Editing files on a remote server by FTP with Filezilla:
-Several files are stored in a temp folder.
-I can edit them with any editor
-Filezilla tracks changes and lets me update the files after changes
-When I am done, I close Filezilla and the Temp files are deleted by Filezilla.
In that case I want to get rid of the open files quickly and do not want to store them again. Why should I?
Other use case:
editing files that are stored in a cloud and have been deleted in the meantime.
Reference for a better solution:
-Notepad++

When writing LaTeX, symbols in the Symbols list are grouped by type (Environment, Section, Paragraph, Chapter, ...), so it is not immediate to understand the structure of the document.
It would be nice if the Symbols list could have a third sorting mode (besided "by Name" and "by Appearance") that makes the Symbol list like a Table of Contents.

I have a some questions about a few things:
1. I could not figure out what the following properties are for:
marker_line
marker_search
marker_mark
call_tips
white_space
string_eol
scalar
label
decorator
extra
entity
2. The "version" property says "incremented automatically, do not change manually" should I just leave it at 1225?
3. How do I make the "#include" part of a preprocessor command a different color than "<stdio.h>"
4. what is the difference between:
number, number_1, and number_2
keyword, keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3, and keyword_4
identifier, identifier_1, identifier_2, identifier_3, and identifier_4
string, string_1, string_2, string_3, and string_4
5. How do I get rid of the vertical line through the middle of the editor (shown in [this picture](https://i.imgur.com/oPNI8G8.png))?

I love the ability to theme the edit area and I prefer a darker theme.
The problem is that the theme does not apply to the side bar which to my mind is a bit inconsistent. Especially when there is a strong light / dark contrast.
I am sure there are users that would prefer it to stay the way it is but for myself at least I would optionally like the relevant portions of the theme to apply to the side bar.
Thanks

When editing a document in (soft) Line wrapping mode (the document line that is longer than the screen width is spread over multiple display lines while keeping the same line number), the End key takes you to the end of the document line. This is understandable, but it keeps being unexpected while editing in the middle of a document line...
My proposal is just to change the defaults:
End = "go to the end of the display line", Alt-End = "go to the end of the document line", Home = "go to the beginning of the display line", and Alt-Home = "go to the beginning of the document line"
When not in Line Wrapping mode, it still works the same, but when in Line Wrapping mode, it's more intuitive.
