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 :)?

Hi,
When will Geany have a built in way to edit syntax highlighting colors of specific file types like .php .pl...
Is this planned? I know it's a "luxury" but just curious. Thanks.

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.
Symbol completion is one of the key features that makes geany "My Editor"
and I'm really glad it's something you've taken the time to implement ...I
had a question, and possibly a todo item...
I latched onto geany in the first place because of it's memory and processor
"weight" and becuase it had features like Regex
find-and-replace-within-selection -- which I couldn't figure out how to get
from eclipse...
I had used a Beta of Zend in the past and I really feel that because of it's
simple dependency tree, geany is the clear winner, in spite of a few really
great features that geay doesn't have, in comparison.
anyhow, my point: Zend uses a php doc standard of using @param to identify
paramters and then tooltips them as you complete a function name within you
application. geany does this for language built-ins but I was curious if
there is documentation on how to make this happen for javascript-language
functions that are user functions... ?

Hi ...
I am a very happy Geany and Xfce user, and this is in fact my main dev.
platform both at work and at home.
But as always, there are some minor details that annoy me, a bit.
* When using virtual windows in xfwm4, Geany seems to take some time
(also processor wise) to rebuild the UI whenever i select the window
Geany are in. This destroy the felling of a snappy IDE, and I like to
know if anyone have looked into this problem. (yes I have a lot of files
open :-))
* Sessions in xfce (and others desctops) are a very nice thing, and
geany remembers a lot of good stuff, like saving open files, and what
virtual window I was in last time (and the size and pos) at the project
I was working on. But it does not save my last project layout. The only
way of doing that (afaic) is to close geany via the menu, and reopen it
again, then the project status is stored as expected. It would be nice
if project status always got saved, or am I missing something ?
* when working with tags, it would be nice to be able to append info to
a tag file, and not just make it in one big run. That way I could use it
in a nested make structure.
* I'm I the only one having problems with error file location in complex
file structures ?
I hope it don't seem like too much criticism, but I just like to know if
anyone else have notices these things and if someone have plans to do
something about it :-)
Regards ...

Hi all,
I've just uploaded the geany-plugins-0.17 gz and bz2 tarballs to
http://plugins.geany.org/geany-plugins, and updated the web pages
accordingly. This marks our first combined release of the Geany
plugins. Have fun with it =)

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 everyone,
I've been tinkering with SCHEME and would like to use geany 0.17 as the
'defacto' SCHEME editor for me.
Can someone point me to where can I get SCHEME coloring scheme's for
geany 0.17 or how can I create one.
Thank you,

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
