[Geany] geany color sceme + debugger advice - python
by Sean Wolfe 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello everybody, I've been happily using Geany for a little while now, coding mostly in Python. I have a couple questions: 1. For a dark color scheme, eg Vibrant Ink, how do i get the active line to not be highlighted. White text + white highlighting = invisible text on the line I'm trying to edit. Arrgh! 2. Any debugger advice for python? I am finding winpdb is pretty slow and actually crashes on my machine a fair amount. I'm on a windows 7 64 bit installation. Thanks! -- A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. - Abraham Maslow

[Geany] Orange to bright a default color for strings
by Lee Gold 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi, The default syntax highlighting orange color for strings IMO looks bad. I wish you would change that default for many languages. Couldn't you just throw people who like windows editors a bone and have a GUI for syntax highlighting instead of editing a file? Thanks. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be

Re: [Geany] HTML+Django template highlighting broken after upgrade to 1.22
by Mike Miller 30 Aug '12

Thanks for your reply. I've checked the settings you mentioned and they appear to be set correctly. FYI, I had to set almost all the python settings as python_xxx under filedefs.xml/html to get them the colors right, and thankfully they were supported. -Mike ---- From: Enrico Tr?ger <enrico.troeger(a)uvena.de> To: Geany general discussion list <geany(a)uvena.de> Subject: Re: [Geany] HTML+Django template highlighting broken after upgrade to 1.22 Message-ID: <503E6BFD.4080703(a)uvena.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On 29/08/12 19:16, Mike Miller wrote: Unfortunately, this isn't documented anywhere, neither in Geany nor in Scintilla (which actually provides the different styles). >From a quick source-code-and-edit-config-to-verify session, here are the styling settings you are interested in: html_asp python_identifier python_default Explanation: let's take the following example: "{% load pages_tags i18n %}" {% and %} will be styled with html_asp, "load", "pages_tags" and "i18n" will be styled with python_identifier and the spaces between with python_default. As far as I know, more styling is not supported by the Scintilla HTML lexer (though I would be happy to be proven wrong). Regards, Enrico

[Geany] How to get syntax highlighting of the Compiler window in the Edit window
by Robert Fekete 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi, when compiling/building something from Geany, the output is printed in a nice highlighted format into the Compiler window in the bottom of the screen. However, if the output is long, it is useful to copy the output to a new window of the editor, but then I loose the highlighting. Is the highlighting mode of the compiler documented somewhere so it can be easily transformed into a custom filetype? Regards, Robert

[Geany] HTML+Django template highlighting broken after upgrade to 1.22
by Mike Miller 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi, Unfortunately highlighting for my html templates was broken after upgrading to version 1.22. I was able to fix most of it by asking geany to copy the entries from filetypes.xml to filetypes.html. The one remaining issue is that Django templating tags are still screwed up. I've googled but can find no mention of how to set those, though they looked acceptable in the previous version. I found this below in the file but it doesn't help to set the correct colors. How do I set the colors of the template vars and blocks?

[Geany] Variable type highlighting in C
by Robert Parker 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hi, When I edit a C program file in Geany, variable types such as mode_t and off_t are colored but the variable type size_t is not. What must I do to have size_t colored? My system is Ubuntu/Linux. Thanks, Bob Parker

[Geany] Yaml highlighting
by Mike Miller 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi, I'm editing a lot of yaml lately for host deployments and finding geany's support a bit lacking, even if my gripes are minor. The first issue is that inline comments are highlighted as a string and not comments, e.g.: section: - foo # very important option The whole second line is string color. Second, the dash is not recognized as an operator like the colon. I'm expecting the - to be colored as an operator, "foo" to be colored as a string, and everything after # to be colored as a comment. Notepad++ does the same, so I wonder if I am doing anything wrong? The yaml parser I'm using understands the syntax above, so why not the highlighter? Instead I'm putting comments on their own lines, but it isn't as intuitive an example for the recipient for specific comments. And I'd like the dash to be a different color as it seems to be part of the string. -- -Mike

[Geany] quickrun
by Jonathan Harbold 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I'm using the windows version of Geany, is there an easy way to add a quickrun option (one click button to compile temp exe -> run temp exe - > delete temp exe) without using a batch file or other external script?

Re: [Geany] filetype_extensions.conf not being read?
by daspostloch 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Thanks Matthew, thanks Lex - clearing the cache worked for the .conf files, but not for the .h files. Additionally renaming/removing /usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf then made everything work. Should have tested the last measure by itself before, but did not do it. Anyways, it works now.
