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.

The "Macro Trigger" entry doesn't respond to key presses. To reproduce, choose `Tools ->Record Macro`, then try to press some keys while the cursor is in the `Macro Trigger` entry.

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.

all other types, including user defined structs are correctly highlighted but not this basic type

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++

Hy is a dialect of Lisp which is currently unsupported by geany's . I plan on creating a filetype.Hy.conf for my own projects and was wondering if anyone else was already working on adding Hy support.
For more information on the language.

Hi, currently, there is one pixel gap between the vertical scrollbar and the right edge of the screen when geany is maximized or when in fullscreen mode. This makes it hard to scroll. When the scrollbar is right on the edge, it is very easy to hit with the mouse (the edge acts like "infinitely" wide target). So I would like to ask to remove the gap to enable easy scrolling.
