In https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/4013 I forgot to add a unit test for meson.
However, when I tried to add it now (naming the test file `meson.build`), I got the following in `meson.build.log`:
```
Unknown filetype extension for "/tmp/tmp.XJrc9S8Suo/test.build.tags".
```
The reason is that unlike other filetypes, the Meson configuration in `filetype_extensions.conf` doesn't start with `*.` but instead the whole filename is used:
```
Meson=meson.build;meson.options;meson_options.txt;
```
The unit test runner creates test files starting with `test`, followed by the filetype extension and this doesn't match what's in `filetype_extensions.conf`.
What should we do about it?
A simple (but ugly) way would be to add some `*.meson_unittest` extension to `filetype_extensions.conf` which we would use for the unit test but which wouldn't be used in real life.

Is there any way to change how Geany highlights a misspelled word? At least make those red squiggly underlines a lot bolder? Or, better still, switch background color? Those lines are barely visible on my system.

See for instance what VLC does. (Or Audacity for that matter.)
Geany’s feature set is large enough (let alone accounting for
plugins) that it may warrant such an enhancement.

In "Preferences - Keybindings" assign keybinding dialog
Currently is titled
"Grab key"
maybe can change to something like
"Assign Keybinding"

Would anyone be interested in adding a filter field in the Preferences - Keybindings section to be able find actions, you are looking to set keybindings for, more easily.
Currently there is a temporary field at the bottom but only detect letters at the beginning of each action, so user would have to know the exact name of them, so this field is not really that helpful.
What I am suggesting is the exact same filter field already included in Geany in the "Plugins Manager" dialog box.
This field detects letters/words anywhere in the items name and filters the results to only show the matched keywords, which works great. I feel this could be helpful in keybindings as well.
Thank You

I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.0 Wilma, and am unable to do a fresh install of Geany because of this error. The French message is about lack of permissions to create, or access the configuration files?
Is this a Geany installation error, or a Linux Mint error?

It seems to happen when I switch to another workspace then return to the one with Geany in it.
I can still type but the cursor is invisible.
I can make it visible by opening the "Find" window.
If anyone knows of other ways to make it visible please comment.
Running on:
XFCE
Xubuntu 24.04

Using the scrollbar arrows (steppers) results in very slow scrolling. It moves about one line per second.

When using the Find tool dialog box, when you get to the last instance of that keyword found, another dialog box opens asking user if they want to "Wrap search and find again", if user chooses to do so by hitting the "Find" button it then wraps the search starting again from the top (first instance it found of that keyword). The problem with this is that if you hit your "Enter" key again to go to the next instance of that keyword, you will realize (hopefully) that the Find dialog no longer has focus and that that "Enter" key you have just it ended up modifying the text in the file you are in.
Would it be possible, to program Geany so that when the "Wrap search and find again" is choosen to be find again, to give the focus back to the "Find" dialog box instead of giving the focus to Geany instead?
I know that windows/dialogs in Linux can be tricky, if this is not possible, please let me know and I will close this issue post.
For now the best solution is to go into `Preferences - General - Misc - Search` and check `Always wrap search`
This does fix the issue but then you can get into one of those situations where you keep cycling through found keywords over and over to then realize you were just in a loop :)
So the notification that you have come to the last keyword instance can be helpful.
Geany does not have any indications for keywords found, no text # of # found or indicators that show up in vertical scrollbar like some programs include. I recommended some ideas in the "Ideas" section in "Discussions" about this but apparently coding wise this is not possible. So losing this dialog indicator with the solution mentioned above helps but is not desired because can cause some issues.
Thank You
