After using Geany for almost a day using the Solarized Dark theme, I felt that the text in Geany was slightly harder to read than in Notepad++, an editor I've been using for the past couple years. At first I thought I was imagining things, but after taking screenshots from each editor and comparing them side-by-side with a magnifying glass, I finally figured out why: the font rendering in Geany is ever so slightly darker (or thinner?) than the font rendering in other code editors like Notepad++. Here is the comparison:

Notepad++ is on top and Geany is on the bottom. It is barely noticeable in the image above, but if you zoom in and use the eyedropper tool you will find that the colors in Geany are darker than the ones in Notepad++:

Maybe I'm just more sensitive to this than others, but after spending a day editing code containing lots of strings using the Solarized Dark theme, I find that the code in Geany is slightly harder to read.
I'm not sure how to categorize this because I suspect it is related to the native font rendering engine that is used in Geany.

Currently, if a link is clicked in the markdown preview, said link is opened in the preview tab itself, instead of calling my main browser.
This might be the desired outcome for relative links, but in my case opening youtube in the embedded browser led to audio glitches and then a nice crash.
Maybe a configurable option? Or absolute links in browser, relative in preview?
Thanks for your work, guys.

I am looking for some kind of "Console View" like it is available for example in Eclipse.
Currently a terminal / shell opens when executing a script in Geany. In this shell one can see the process streams stdout and stderr and can write to stdin of the new process.
However, I would rather eliminate this new terminal window popping up and changing focus each time I launch a script in Geany.
I think it is better to have the process communication (stdout, stdin, stderr) embedded in a view within Geany like it is done in many IDEs. The different streams could be colored e.g. stderr in red and stdin (input from the user) in green.

I really like your editor. It's now my main editor. But I'm like to ask for a simple feature that I see in other editors.
When doing a find I'd like a "wrap search" checkbox to automatically wrap around from end to beginning/ And have it remember that choice.

Should there be one? A Checkbutton for "Line breaking" in Preferences/ Editor / Features , besides "Line breaking column" or besides "Line wrapping" ?
It's tedious to remember and toggle that per document every time.
Or maybe there is a way, unknown to me, to modify some start-up file to tell Geany to open with Line breaking on in menu/Document ?
