Using Geany on Mac has display issues in the code editor. Using v1.36 with standard plugins, and no custom configuration, and MacOS Catalina. Moving the cursor around in the editor messes up the lines displayed (see gif to get a better idea, look at the line numbers). A couple of scrolls up and down fixes it for a while. As far as I can tell, it's just a display issue, since if I start typing, text gets entered at the line the cursor is supposed to be at.
The file is a small 120 line file; another ~200 line file is open in another editor tab.

Feature request:
Any chance of someone adding an API for the geanymacro plugin? I want to be able to start and stop macro recording, playback, etc., without having to go through the menu.

I've a feeling that this is due to some Windows 10 update
It is not possible to read the modification times in the File open window.
Every column entry for each file just says "Unknown"
This used to work fine in each Geany version, reinstalling older versions does not help.
I have an old portable app version 0.18. There it works.

In `Edit=>Preferences=>Editor.Features`, I added a checkbox "Comment Blank Line(s)" for issue #2239.
When this option is turned on and when commenting (`Edit=>Format=>Comment Line(s)`) or toggling comments (`Ctrl+E`), blank (empty) line(s) will also be commented.
For example, if you comment this code...
```Ruby
puts <<EOD
EOD
```
..., it will do this:
```Ruby
# puts <<EOD
#
# EOD
```
It should work for Comment, Uncomment, and Toggle. By default, it is off/false.
If this merge is accepted, `doc/geany.html` and the screenshot in this HTML file will need to be updated.

Failure Recipe:
1. No geany instances open.
2. Use _some other editor_ to edit my own geany config file (~/.config/geany/geany.conf), make a settings change, save the change.
3. cat the config file to verify that the settings change is in fact present there as expected.
4. Start up geany, close geany.
5. The geany config setting modified in step 2 has been automatically reverted to its "original" setting value, the value it had before step 2. <=== FAILURE
The failure in step 5 is because geany is saving its volatile internal configuration info to the config file on exit, every exit.
It is arguably bad practice to save the configuration file unconditionally every editing session, whether or not I have changed config settings during the editing session ("not", in my case). That aside, why is geany reverting the setting to some previous state of its configuration, and where is that configuration info even being loaded from, if not my own config file?!
In other words, even if geany always loads config info at startup and stores it at shutdown, why is it loading the config info from location X (wherever that is) and storing it to location Y (my own config file)? This is a bug.
------
POSTSCRIPT:
This is all because I'm trying to disable the broken 'use_atomic_file_saving' option. (Yes, I have read all of the https://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving page, and understand it fully.) Enabling this option results in an edited file having its permissions/ownership/attributes altered arbitrarily whenever the file is saved! I understand the technical difficulties in being able to reestablish ownership of the renamed file (a problmatic impediment), but there is no excuse for not reasserting the original permissions (and attributes) on the file after renaming, which should suffice for a huge percentage of the typical use cases. This is intolerable, and renders it a generally useless -- and dangerous -- option.
Incidentally, I resorted to trying 'use_atomic_file_saving' at all because, in the VM filesystem in my use case, with 'use_gio_unsafe_file_saving' enabled (the default), geany flat-out refused to save an edited file successfully whatsoever, no how, no way, failing with an "access denied" even though I possessed full ownership on the writable file. Yet another bug. My only recourse is to disable all "safe" saving options and live "dangerously". (Though, in 30 years, using countless other editors that do "dangerous" file saves, I've never once had a file truncation event due to a full filesystem or any other anomaly.)

There is some bug with Overview plugin in last versions of Geany. When the plugin is on, Geany's text starts shimmering, i.e. some lines are doubled, then set properly. I couldn't find a regularity of this, except for that with a code (and syntax highlighting) the shimmering occurs more often than with a plain text.
When the Overview plugin is off, the shimmering disappears too.
See the picture attached.
I use also Git monitor plugin. It doesn't produce the shimmering by itself and doesn't influence at all. It seems Overview plugin is responsible for the shimmering.
Debian 10, Xfce.

Hello,
I recently installed Geany and every time I try to run it I get an error telling me that libatk-1.0-0.dll is missing. I checked the installation folder and found nothing. I use Windows 7.
How do I fix this?

It would be nice:
1. with a single **Home** key press to go to the start of display line (as in many other editors) instead of a start of real line
2. with a single **Shift+Home** combination to select to the start of display line (as in many other editors), instead of.. How am I supposed to select to the start of display line, if **Alt+Shift** enables the column-editing mode?
3. with the subsequent press of **(Shift +) Home** key to go to (select) the start of text on that line, and with the subsequent presses of **Home** key to alternate between start of line and start of text (smart Home key functionality)
Can't wait to see @elextr's reply on this.

I'd like to launch geany in a specific directory from the command line, and then use a keyboard interface to open files from that folder - I've done something similar with Atom & VS Code using the Ctrl-P popup. Launching it from a specific directory does seem to work - the tree browser plugin shows that directory.
It seems like the commander plugin is what I want: I can assign a keybinding for 'show command panel (files only)'. But this doesn't seem to expose any of the files from the working directory, only menu entries related to the word 'file'.
