I wonder, what are your long term plans with Geany? Do you have any
larger roadmap and ideas, what do you want to do with it? What can we
expect in the future :)?

Hello,
I have a question about tab identation. Imagine that I have code like
this:
[1] ->->->... code
[2] ->->->... code
Where [n] is line number, "->" is tab and "." is space.
If I press tab of shift+tab at first line, I get desired identation, but
also an artifact: spaces (".") are replaced with tab and code in case of
one tab become like this:
[1] ->->->->-> code
I want to save my space identation and if I change Preferences -> Editor
-> Identation -> "Tab key idents" to unchecked, I get my desired tab key
function. But that is true only if I change one line at a time.
If I select more lines (for example, first and second) and press tab of
shift+tab, spaces are still replaced with tabs.
I do remember that at least one type of identation (tab or shift+tab)
saved my spacing, but I can't recall in which version of Geany it was.
And as I have clean (default) geany installation now, it may be due to
configuration issue.
So my question is: how and if I can configure Geany to support my
desired identation (save spaces) with tab/shift+tab.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I found Geany some time ago, searching for a simple, small IDE, and
while it definitely looks very nice, the thing that surprised me
the most was how incredibly slow the editor was. I tried many different
editors before, and while GTK+ based ones have always been slower than
others, with higher CPU overhead, I've never seen anything as slow as
Geany (and SciTE, to be fair) - for example, in a C++ file, holding the
left/right keys (so the cursor keeps going to left/right) consumes over
50% of CPU and it even stutters, stumbles on brackets, holding the
up/down keys is even more CPU intensive, the editor actually cannot
keep up with the cursor movement, the same with scrolling (which is
slow and laggy - the scrollbar cannot update itself fast enough, it
jumps instead of moving continuously), and also mouse selection - when I
select a larger part of the source code, like a function with 20+
lines, CPU usage goes to 100% and the selection lags, too, it cannot
keep up with the mouse movement. In a plain text file (with no syntax
highlighting), the CPU usage is naturally lower, it does not lag so
much. The extremely slow editor also affects the main menu redrawing
performance - when a blank file is open in the editor, the menu can
redraw as fast as in any other GTK+ app (i.e. fast enough), with a
plain text file, it's slower, but when a .cpp file is loaded, again the
redrawing is extremely slow, the menu cannot keep up with the mouse
(when I ride through the menu from left to right, for example).
Now, I know it sounds as if my computer is broken, but when I compare
it with other editors: for example in emacs, the CPU usage while
holding the arrow keys is about 0% (even in the GTK+ version), other,
more modern and heavyweight editors like the Kate-based ones (KDE)
consume about 2-3 times less CPU cycles than Geany does for these basic
tasks like selection, typing and scrolling, the same applies even to
the gedit editor in GNOME, with its syntax higlighting - even though
it's GTK+ based, there are no lags and 100% CPU usage at all.
Is there anything that can be done about it? Or is it just my computer?
It's a 2.4 GHz P4 with the nv driver for X.org, tried it on Debian and
Arch Linux, which are both pretty lightweight to begin with... Is the
Scintilla library really so inefficient? Because like I said, the only
other editor I've tried that's as slow as Geany was SciTE, so it
looks like it's Scintilla's fault...
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to autocomplete words other
than symbols in Geany similar to the way it works in Scite. For
example, when I am programming in Haskell, I normally write the type
definition for a function before I write the function itself:
------------------------
SomeReallyLongFunctionName :: Int -> Int
------------------------
Then I immediately start writing the function definition after that,
however I can't use autocomplete to complete the function name.
Instead I have to either type the whole thing out again or copy and
paste it. This would also help out a lot when I am programming in a
language that is not directly supported by Geany i.e. Groovy.
Thanks In Advance,
Bryan

Hi!
I wonder, if it is possible to provide better suggestions for Python.
Right now only the name of a function is provided. Is it possible, to
provide also names of args?
Or maybe you could point me the code, where it is made. I doubt, if I
manage to change, but maybe it's simple enough to try it ;-)

Using 0.17... I'm having trouble setting command line arguments and the
run-time environment from within Geany (ie. LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.).
For the CLA's, I realize it's supposed to be possible, but any file I enter in
the Build->Set Arguments and Includes "Execute:" box results in this error:
./geany_run_script.sh: line 5: ./exe.file in.file: No such file or directory
------------------
(program exited with code: 127)
Press return to continue
I get this error no matter what directory I run geany from. I don't see
anywhere to set a "working directory" in Preferences.
For the run-time environment, I can use exported environment variables when I
run geany from a shell with those variables set, but is there a way to set the
RTE from within geany?
Thanks,

Is there a way to get the full-path of an opened file, so as to
copy/paste it in another window?
Thanks for your reply!

Is it just me or is autoindent unkillable on .17 / ubuntu 9.04? I've
tried setting it to "none" in both preferences and project preferences.
Any other things to try before I jump out the window?
