"Build" and "Execute" actions are handled differently.

Build actions do not allow user input and have their output captured and analysed for errors/warnings and then displayed in the compiler tab of the message window as a clickable list. Execute actions are executed in a terminal window (either the embedded one or a separate one) so the user can interact with it and output with terminal control sequences will work.

Just programming a build/execute command to build and run can only be one of those since Geany cannot separate the "build" part of a command from the "run" part of a command so you will lose some capability.

Thats why "somebody" needs to add a capability to select two separate parts of the "build and run". Perhaps it could be as simple as selecting two build menu commands, but it still needs coding, and UI to set it.
