@zaxebo1, thanks for the link! I've modified it to this: ```bash #!/bin/sh
socket=`xprop -root _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP` socket=${socket##* }
if [ "$socket" ] then if [ "$DISPLAY" ] then socket="${DISPLAY%.*}-$socket" socket=${socket#*:} else socket="NODISPLAY-$socket" fi exec /usr/bin/geany --socket-file "/tmp/geany_socket_$socket" "$@" else exec /usr/bin/geany "$@" fi ```
Then I've saved it as `~/.local/bin/geany`, made it executable and added `~/.local/bin` to PATH.
SInce in Ubuntu `geany.desktop` uses simply `geany` instead of full path, all file types associations now use this new script as well as direct execution from menu. Works wonderfully, finally proper replacement for slow gedit.
IMHO, this should be the default behavior.
