Thanks for the replies, but none of the suggestions are helpful with what I'm trying to do, which is to open a new tab (empty "untitled" file, or a new buffer as @elextr said) in an existing instance (any existing instance, I just don't want to spawn a new one).

technically it opens a new buffer, it doesn't actually create the file until you save the buffer

And thanks for that, because I tried calling geany "" and it started editing /home/<username> which... ouch. XD

I think this issue could probably be closed as you can do what the title says already.

...no, I can't? Unless you choose to interpret it as "open existing file in a new tab" which, okay, but not what I meant.

Oh, well. Is there any official way of submitting a feature request for this?
