I tried changing colors in files.common. Changing just color does not solve the problem because the symbols are very tiny pin pricks. Changing them to black or red does not help. Changing background color from white totally disrupts the "look".
If there's a way to change the symbols themselves - that's what I need. Is there? If so I missed this and please direct me.
I've tried many Linux and windows editors editors none is perfect. Geany and Textpad share this one problem - visible whitespace chars can hardly be seen on my screens. Again, it's content, I need to see it clearly.

Find the setting "white_space".

Hi all,
is there a Ubuntu / Debian package (or it's source) of geanylua available?
I remember, there was a thread long ago, where we talked about an geany develop package. Is such a package available now? I use the .deb from getdeb.net. Here all the headers and libraries are part of the "normal" package.

Hi all.
One more silly question. ;-)
I'm using folding marks within comments with my long-time emacs
installation. I'm using this marks to group functions or other variable
declarations.
/* =====================================================================
*/
/* {{{ */
// the code...
/* }}} */
Is there a way to use these marks? I haven't found anything about
"folding marks" in the manual.
Bye

I found SciTE/scintilla a few months ago, and a few days ago learned
about Geany--it looks good to me--some of the things I was wishing were
part of SciTE seem to be already part of Geany.
But, I have some off-point questions: The manual (at
file:///usr/share/doc/geany/html/index.html) is too wide for me to
reasonably read. I have to scroll horizontally to read each line of
text, even with shrinking the font to the limit in konqueror. (I'm
older, and I generally use larger fonts to make reading easier.)
I could copy and paste the document into an editor (like Geany) where
the lines do wrap to the width of the window, but I lose a lot of the
formatting and conveniences (like links) that way.
I see that the document is written in reStructuredText and then, iiuc,
rendered (is that the right word) using docutils. Does anyone (here)
know how to tell docutils (or reST) how to wrap the text to a narrower
width (shorter line length)?
(I checked a few of the lines and got a character count around 115
characters per line.)
Continuing with similar questions, is there something in the text of the
manual that forces the lines to such a long length, maybe either
pictures or the tables that are included? If so, is there a way to
tell docutils to wrap the rest of the text to a narrower width? (So
I'd only have to horizontally scroll for the pictures or tables?--I
don't really like having to horizontally scroll for those, either, but
it's better than having to horizontally scroll for every line in the
document.)
Or, alternatively, a way to tell docutils to leave the lines unwrapped
so the browser can wrap them to the width of the browser window, while
leaving pictures or tables at their full width?
I did try googling for docutils to find information or someone to ask
there--I didn't find either the information or an obvious contact, so I
thought I'd try here first.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm looking for some API calls within the plugin API. I would like to
write a plugin which reads emacs mode-lines. I have some sources where
C++ headers uses the extension .h! In this cases I've added a
// -*- Mode: C++ -*-
to the header.
(1) Is it possible to change the document type?
(2) Can I get the some informations of the current line? It would be
easier to know if a line is within a comment or not. Geany already knows
this.
Thanks...

Thanks for yout help.
Enrico,
Regarding "why?": I will not totally play here:^)
I admit my compliment to Geany is a slap at other editors. I will own that and it is solely my opinion.
Initially I don't like high light current line, but after a few hours I pine for it. I'm a human looking at a machine. Is harmless distraction so bad a sin after hours of looking at a screen? Maybe it helps my eyes to refocus.
IMO as good an editor as this could not be conceived of and coded without a psycho-visual sensibility on the part of it's creators. I'm sure you must expect some variability:^)

Just for my curiosity, why?

Again, why? :)
The reason there is no keybinding or other short way of toggling the
display of line numbers is because usually users want them always or
never. I never guessed they should be easily toggle-able, this is why
I'm curious you asking for that.

Enrico

Hi,
Is there a way to toggle highlight current line color the cursor is on on/off? If not a toggle is there a menu somewhere?
I assume the highlight color is determined by config file(?)
Is there a way to toggle line # on/off? I know there's a menu way, but is there a key combo or button?
I expected a check box for high light current line. But I can't it.
Geany works very smoothly with Python. So I am using the "other OS" less and less because I finally have a Linux editor that let's me concentrate on the code and not spending time figuring out how to use the editor. IMO I never had that in Linux. And it's clean and not bloated. Nice!

Hi everyone,
Geany seems to be having trouble parsing and highlighting @font-face
definitions in CSS files; this may, of course, be a SCiTE problem,
though. Because a picture makes it much easier to see what's going on,
I've put one up on my website:
http://www.barryvan.com.au/temp/geany-css.png . Notice the failure to
correctly highlight the attributes and their values in the odd-numbered
@font-face blocks, and the failure to correctly identify the @font-face
block definition in the evenly-numbered blocks.
It's not a huge issue, but it is a little bit annoying.
Kind regards,
Barry
Dear Geany devs,
I've been tinkering with the regex in tagmanager/php.c to better
detect functions. My regex is still far from perfect, but I'll only
detect functions prefixed with either whitespace or on or more of
these: public, protected, private or static.
I'd guess a better approach would be to detect the opening parenthesis
'(' after the function name...
The first 2 commented 'functions' are indexed by the current regex as
the functions 'should' and 'would'.
/**
* This function should not be indexed
*/
// this function would also be indexed
Correct examples:
public static function this_one_will() {
function this_one_too() {
Cheers!
Harold.
