[Geany] A read-only command line option
by LUK ShunTim 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi, It seems there's no way to start geany to open a file in a "read-only" mode. Would it be a lot of work to add such a command line option? Don't bother if it is. :-) Regards, ST --

[Geany] Javascript tags file
by Etienne MELEARD 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hi, As I couldn't find out if someone already build such a file here is (enclosed) my javascript tags file to enable javascript auto-completion ... Alternative link : http://dl.yent.eu/em.js.tags I extracted stuff from the W3C JS/DOM reference so it does not include jquery/dojo and such related tags (personally I don't need them) but since it is really easy to add other tags ... Btw once more I really love geany's flexibility when it comes to customization ... Etienne

[Geany] RFC: Setting up a monthly newsleter?
by Frank Lanitz 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hi folks, I was thinking about an idea I'm not sure whether somebody would be interesting in. As the Geany family is growing it might become more difficult to keep track on current developments inside the project as well as the close environment like new or updated plugins, important updates on GTK or some other used library in case you don't read every mail on the mailing list or hanging around all time inside IRC. As I know from a couple of other projects some kind of a project newsletter has been set up by a couple of people to help to keep on track with latest updates. So I'd like to suggest setting up something like this also for Geany and its plugins etc.. In difference to the newsletters around Debian or PostgresSQL I was thinking about a monthly one maintained by a small team of maybe three people monitoring the mailing list, IRC as well as they are open for input of users and (plugin) developers. Based on this they could compile a newsletter and send it out to either geany-user mailing list or maybe some newly created one. I could imagine of topics inside the 'newsletter' (unsorted list): * Geany Core * Reviews inside press, blogs, wikis etc. * Major updates/bugfixes/improvements on svn trunk * New releases and updates * HowTos for working with Geany * Plugins * New plugins available * Major updates/improvements/bugfixes on plugins * General * Important updates of used libraries * News out of community (of importance for Geany) So question are: Who would like to see such a thing? Who would be able to help compiling such a newsletter? Any other ideas or suggestions? Cheers, Frank -- Frank Lanitz <frank(a)frank.uvena.de>

[Geany] Editor navigation custom keybindings
by Todd Chambery 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hi all, Is there a mechanism for customizing the cursor movement keybindings in Geany? I'm a happy Notepad++ user on WIndows, largely because it accommodates my "inverted T" editor navigation keybindings: (http://chambery.subfire.org/images/keybindings-simplified.png) Notepad++ uses Scintilla underneath, maybe I can port these over? Thanks, Todd

[Geany] Question about custom colour scheme and Geany configuration files
by Russell Dickenson 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

I am (still) working on a custom colour scheme for Geany, using named styles. Thanks to Lex I have corrected a problem with the styling of Geany's own configuration files, with just one exception. The configuration files contain text such as "[Style]" and "tag=" and in my custom colour scheme this is appear as dark blue on a dark grey background. Does anyone know offhand what these items are referred to in the style files? -- Russell

[Geany] Indentation problems
by Philipp Kalder 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello list, I think I found a bug or two othree . . ., but am not sure. So I first write to the list. I hope this is the right place. I have an apt-get install of Geany 0.19.1 and installed a theme from here: http://www.barryvan.com.au/2009/01/geany-ide-tango-dark-colour-scheme/ I did this more or less before I really used geany. But I think some of the issues started first after the theme was applied. I also created a filetype.common as mentioned in the comments of the link above. I installed a Virtual Machine Ubuntu 10.10 (same as my workstation) and tested the 'fresh' version against the one I use: 1. Issue In an Editor such as gedit or Editra as well as in Geany you can mark a text and replace it with anything you have in your clipboard. The usual linux behavior would be to copy the marked text to the clipboard, so ctrl+v-ing would simply replace the marked text with itself. After installing the above theme however, the behavior changes from Editor like to usual. Which is quite inconvenient. 2. Issue I have some issues with indentation while coding. I code in python. Pressing Enter after a colon results in the next line being indented using tabs. But my settings are to use spaces. Pressing Enter after a 'regular' line, the indentation is done using spaces. So I guess there is some problem with the implementation for python/colon. Python sometimes really get's finicky about mixing spaces and tabs. 3. Issue Is again related to the theme, after testing this in the VM. Auto completing/adding for parenthesis does not work with the theme. With the 'fresh' Geany closing parenthesis is added just as it should be, with the theme it's not. Curly and square braces are added without difficulty. 4. Issue Might be related to no.2. Though the settings are set to use spaces, pressing tab inserts a tab and even converts preceding spaces in groups of $tabwidth into tabs Moving multiple lines at once with tab, also inserts and converts spaces to tabs. This seems not to be related to the theme as well. So I don't know if these are 'bugs', so if someone know's anything about it, please let me know. Especially if it is a bug, that might already been filed as one. Regards Phil

[Geany] Replacing grep with grin in file search
by Vineet Jain 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Grin is a grep like search tool with several improvements when searching through source files. http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2011/grin-and-search-it/ What would be required to grin instead of grep in the search wizard?

[Geany] Can i disable the extra '*' chars in function/class docs?
by Stephan Beal 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi, all! i'm new to Geany, and trying to get used to it (in place of xemac), mainly for purposes of maintaining PHP and JS code (which emacs can't indent worth a damn). i'm finding that when i document my code (which i always do!), geany is inserting an extra '*' at the start of each line. That is a documentation convention which i have never been able to sympathize with - it takes up more space and makes it very painful to reformat the text (or add to it, since we have to manually handle the word wrapping). i document A LOT, so i get a bit cranky when my tools get in my way when i'm trying to document. Can i disable those extra stars? i find them truly painful. Aside from that: Geany is really impressive. i especially like the etags import feature. BTW: can i tell the symbol browser to start collapsed instead of expanded? In C code, with lots of global functions, the auto-expand behaviour makes it more difficult to find non-function code (IMO). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/
