the geany sidebar are arrange by tabas.. but cannot be reordened and
if there more thant 3 tabs the vision are limited of thems due labels of each are too large
and if the sidebar are in vertical/horizontal there a waste of space
my suggestion its to optionally only show 3 firts letters or icon only like does with normal tool bar
i'm particular want to know how to only load 3 firts letters to cheap the space in small screen

For a more complete translation experience for the users i suggest making this string translatable:
Geany is a small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a KDE or GNOME - Geany only requires the GTK3 runtime libraries.
Can be seen in gnome-software.
I think other software use a appdata.xml file with those strings.
Might have something to do with appstream but i dont know the details.

1. Open a file
2. Scroll to the end (common if working on, say, a book)
3. Close the file
4. Open the file again, to continue working on your book
Notice the cursor position is 1:1, instead of where you left off.

I report this issue after a discussion in the user mailing list.
A context menu is shown when you click the right mouse button on the markdown preview panel.
It seems that the panel is produced by the libwebkit used by the plugin.
This is the piece of discussion on the mailing list
> Correct, IIUC webkit is fed the data directly by the plugin, not by
saving a file, but having pretensions of being a browser webkit likely
still has a "home" location like most browsers do, and it tries to
reload that. If webkit allows that menu to be customised then if
someone wants to send a pull request to remove the useless menu entry
I'm sure it would be welcome.

I am really enjoying using Geany and congratulate you on its richness of functions but there is one thing that makes me curse:
I have to close the "find" pop-up dialog each time that I select a new area of text to find and then re-open it by clicking "find" or ctrl-f.
I have been used to using TexPad which re-writes the new find text each time without having to close the pop-up.
Thank you for your great efforts.

It would be nice to have an option to only index files listed in the "external directory" that have an #include<...> directive. This would reduce the amount of indexed files to only index files used in context.

I am currently testing geany a lot, which explains the various issues
created.
Anyway, this time I have a bug report; or, rather than a bug per se, perhaps
a strange behaviour feature instead.
I will try to explain what I did:
- I was trying to search for a specific word/substring in a somewhat
large file (~10.000 lines or so).
- I was clicking on the expander in that search widget, for "Find All"
too.
- There, I was clicking on "In Document". (If you want to see it,
just click on the part that expands that widget downwards.)
Next result was that suddenly the bottom pane flapped upwards
and occupied like 60% of the space. With bottom pane I mean
the notebook-like thing that has the entries such as "Status",
"Compiler", "Messages", "Scribble", "Tasks".
The content in that first tab (Status) showed:
No matches found for "abhn".
(That was the sub-word I was trying to find.)
Alternatively it will show the result of the match when it found
something, which is useful.
Anyway, the bottom pane unfortunately does not have a simple way
for me to move it downwards, so 60% is now occupied with this
status/compiler/messages/scribble/tasks widget and I can not resize
it.
I restarted geany, and that bottom pane did not show up, so I assume
that it can only be triggered (or at the least one way to trigger)
through that search-functionality.
I am not against the functionality as such, but here are two things
or three that I think are not ideal; or could be changed.
1) First, it would be great if we could resize that widget. I was
trying to find an up-and-down arrow appearing but I could not find
one. No clue why. Perhaps my gtk-version is broken, but either way
an up-and-down arrow to resize this would help.
2) Second, and perhaps more importantly ... I did not have any bottom
bane widget at all (actually I was even trying to find vte yesterday,
but I guess I don't have vte installed or geany can not find it, so
I was confused when a bottom pane suddenly showed up altogether).
To me this is by far the most surprising part. Consider that I am
working mostly full screen in a text file. Now I am trying to
search something and I have this cute small search widget. Then
I hit "Document" and BAM, suddenly this strange bottom pane flaps
open to like 60% ... this was unexpected to me. I don't really
dislike it (only that I can not resize it) but it is unexpected
and perhaps not intuitive. First, I would like to suggest to
perhaps make it a bit smaller, right now it really occupies about
the bottom 60%; may be better to occupy only 40% or less by
default. But more importantly, I actually don't think this should
appear at all. IMO it may be better if the search widget itself
could show or indicate whether something has been found or not.
(I have not looked at the code but I assume that it shows up
in "Status" may be indicative that it is somehow registered
there first, and then geany or gtk may assume that the user wants
to see this; which is an ok assumption per se, but it does not
make a whole lot of sense to me when we were already using only
the search-widget).
3) This one probably requires more changes; the whole search
widget interface redesigning. But I don't want to suggest any
big work either. I only find the search widget/interface a
bit confusing. Perhaps this could be a separate issue, like
asking several users of geany how they use it, what they don't
use, what they use a lot, and then eventually make some changes
in the future. The options are fine, in principle, but the
defaults seem a bit strange. For example, right now when I
want to continue to search, I have to select the "Find"
button; the "Cancel" button is the default focus, so when I
hit enter, rather than searching again, that sub-widget
is closed. That confuses me too; was different in my old editor.
I can see people want to prefer cancel, but it may be better
to be able to allow users to tweak it. Or to actually make
an "In Document" search also part of the top-options, rather
the expanded ones, without showing up the status at all. I
usually need to search the whole document so the search
interface is a bit sub-optimal for me right now.
