I personally don't see a need for programmers' text editors to have spell checking. There are other editors for Latex that support spell checking if someone would need that. -- Cory Burgett ~ ~ :wq

[Geany] Feature Request: spell checking support
by Frank Lanitz 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Hi! Since month I'm looking for one feature inside geany: spell checking. On the one hand, it will extend the dependencies, but on the other hand it would be real great while writing a text in LaTeX. IMHO aspell, ispeel or something similar is installed on a big number of systems. So there would be no need to install a lot of stuff. (I don't know, how it works under win32) So I ask you: What do you think about that? Is there any chance/need for spell checking? Frank

[Geany] New SVN binary for Windows
by Enrico Tröger 27 Oct '06

27 Oct '06

Hi, I've just created a zip file with the SVN version of Geany. Get it from http://files.uvena.de/geany/geany_svn_win32.zip. Please note that from now on the GTK file open dialog is used instead of the default Windows file open dialog. We extended the GTK file open dialog to have drop down boxes for setting a filetype and encoding for the opened files and the Windows dialog is missing them(unless someone writes it). If you want to have back the "old" default Windows dialog, you have to compile the sources by yourself and uncommenting the last macro in win32-config.h. Documentation for this will follow.

[Geany] Improvement of long comments inside python, *.sh and LaTeX
by Frank Lanitz 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Hi guys! I got a issue with handling of comments, that are longer than one line. Sometimes, it would be better to don't see them. I know, that there are special signs in other languages for such a case, which you don't have inside a shell script or LaTeX. Nevertheless is it possible to implement such a feature? If not directly I got something like "Don't show lines between line x and line y" easy to handly with mouse and/or keyboard in my mind. Frank

Thanks for the config file. It seems it is the 'Replace tabs by space' setting that scrolls the current line to the bottom of the screen. I will look at fixing this so it works as expected, and for the fold point expansion too. Regards, Nick

[Geany] A few things...
by Christopher Anderson 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi all. I hope this message isn't repeating anyone, I admit I haven't been following the posts very closely. Anyway, I first want to say that I love geany. It has totally replaced gedit and kate for me, which is good because gedit is too simple and kate is KDE, and I prefer gnome. I really think geany is the best gnome editor I have used to date, and I am excited about its future. .....buuuuut.... I have a few issues right now: 1. I am often switching between editing a file and doing something in the embedded Terminal. One thing I noticed that is annoying is that when I hit Save, it changes to the Status tab. I then have to keep clicking on Terminal again. Now, I understand why this behavior exists, but I would like to be able to disable it. 2. I was running python in the terminal, and I tried to exit by pressing Ctrl-D. Unfortunately, geany intercepted this key press and commented a line of code instead. So, I decided to remove the keybinding. I went into preferences, clicked on the "comment line" binding, clicked "Change" and then clicked "Ok". This seemed to clear out the shortcut. However, when I went back to the terminal, hitting Ctl-D still commented a line! So then I restarted geany. Now, when I am in the terminal, the Ctl-D gets sents properly to python, so that is ok. But if I am editing a document, hitting Ctl-D copies the current line. Strange. Cheers, Chris Anderson

[Geany] spaces, tabs and saving
by Marcelo Coelho 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi! I've been using geany for some days and I'm loving it!!! It is just what I've been looking for ages! Great work! But (there is always a but, isn't it?) there are two or three things that are irritating for me. I like to use spaces instead of tabs in my code. Kdevelop works rather OK with that. With i press tab it inserts always the exact amount of spaces _instead_ of tabs. Geany tries to insert the spaces that are more or less the right amount. But the thing that i hate most is that whenever i search or i save a file, the folded code and the position at the file are changed, and suddenly I'm lost in a few thousand lines file... I don't know if this is the right place but i wanted to request to position the search results at the middle of the screen and that the page position and the folded code stay as it was prior to saving. Thank you for your attention and keep up the good work!!

[Geany] thanks and question (multi-encodings)
by Fedor Fedorovich Lejepekov 25 Oct '06

Hi, i've try geny as html/perl/php editor and foud it wery useful. Thnks, nice work! I often work with many encoding (koi8-r, windows-1251, and utf-8) and was very happy when i saw encoding selection entry in program menu (document->set encoding). But when I select any of encodings text nothing changes - just tab title become red (if document just open) and status bar displays current selected codepage. - Text/code output is the same. I've try build lastest snapshot (nightly build), new version displays as 0.10, but it has same problem :(. -- ,''`. Sincerely yours, : :' : Fedor F.

Re: [Geany] Browser, search and autocompletion

Hey, I just found out I (AGAIN) sent the message to Enrico instead of sending to the list... so I won't snip it this time. This way everyone can read the past messages (if they want to). After all that old-messages text there is my reply. Sorry for the inconvenience... I just can't help it. A bug in brain, perhaps. 2006/10/23, Enrico Tröger <enrico.troeger(a)uvena.de>: > > On Sun, 22 Oct 2006 02:01:29 -0200, "Alexandre Moreira" > <alexandream(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > 2006/10/21, Enrico Tröger <enrico.troeger(a)uvena.de>: > > > > > > On Thu, 19 Oct 2006 11:45:12 +0200, nebojsa <nebojsa(a)anja.ig3.net> > > > > [snips here, there and everywhere] > [snipped even more ;-)] > > > I started using geany after thinking a lot of things that I would do > > in my own IDE, finding out I wouldn't have the time or skills to > > acomplish it (at least not in time to go back to the project I > > wanted to use the IDE for) and giving it up.

But, I have not much knowledge in Glib or Gtk+ for that matter... some Theory knowledge, but never done any good job at it. Bearing this in mind I cannot give any good advice on what would be a good format. Ignoring my lack of skills, we could do something in the sense of having a kind of "chain of responsability" pattern, in that the file the user gives us would define a set of pairs : a match pattern and a substitution pattern [well, I am not quite sure if we would really need two, perhaps one is enough], and those pairs would be put in a simple data structure that would link together to form a list. All that Geany would need to do is something in the line of the following pseudo-code: Get the message from the compiler. Fetch the first pair of patterns and put in "Pair". Loop: Pair is not defined ? Exit Loop. Does the message matches with Pair.match ? Yes: then substitute it using the second pattern and display it. No: Fetch next pair in Pair, Continue Loop. It is not exactly THE "chain of responsability" pattern, but it is quite simple, not exactly resource intensive (I mean, we probably will have something around 5 pairs for a compiler (wild guess, I don't know the number of different message formats an average compiler generates)), and I think it would do the job. To complete the idea, we could just add the messages that did not match any "match" pattern to the message window with a flag that indicates that it should not be "parsed" (to set file name, line number, etc). Well, there is probably some flaws at my line of thinking, because all that came while I was studying for an exam, I'll take a closer look at the problem later, have some AI studying to do (hell I hate exams)...
