For my work, I need to edit the same source files from multiple computers, most of which are Linux and a couple are Mac OSX. Say I'm editing a python file with the following line: ``` x = 3.0 ``` In geany on linux, hitting the keyboard shortcut for 'comment' does this ``` #x = 3.0 ``` While in geany on OSX, hitting the keyboard shortcut for 'comment' does this ``` # x = 3.0 ``` i.e., it inserts an extra space after the `#` character. I don't really mind the difference, since they both work, except that _if I comment a bunch of lines in linux, I can't uncomment them on osx by choosing uncomment_. This gets super annoying, since I then have to manually uncomment entire code blocks, line by line.
So my question is, how can I make the commenting and uncommenting consistent in geany across the two OSes? Or perhaps, how can I get geany on osx to uncomment lines commented by geany on linux (and vice versa)?
Comment text is configurable as defined in the [manual](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#settings-section).
FWIW, the default on all OSes is to add the `~ ` suffix to the comment delimiter. If you changed this on some instances, you gotta match that everywhere, see [Edit Features Preferences](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#editor-features-preferences), the *Comment toggle marker* setting.
@elextr point is relevant as well, but only if you modified the filetype configuration directly, whereas it's more likely you just modified the general setting I mentioned above.
