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!

Hello Geany users,
I have just installed Geany on Ubuntu and when I open the preferences I
have tab General, Interface, ..., Various but after Various* I do not have
the Terminal tab (see image below)*, which is what I wanted to access to
paste and copy commands to the terminal to execute small pieces of code.
Have I made a mistake in installing geany (i used on the command line: sudo
apt-get install geany)
Thank you very much for help.
Best regards,
marco

Hi guys,
I like a lot geany, it is very powerful, and simple, fast... ;)
I think that it is the best candidate to be the base of a IDE for
microcontroler's...
As the beginning using SDCC(it start to support one MCU of my
interest...STM8).
I don't know how to start :S , I just downloaded the source code...I see
that it is almost a C project ;)
I need to change some things in the graphical fronted...I never played
with gtk, or glade :(.
And worst, I don't know what files to change and where ...but i have
compiled it successfully.
Any description of the folder's in the role of geany ?
Thanks in advance
regards

Hi,
I noticed autocompletion never seemed to work right for me in geany, even though
I had all the checkboxes checked in the preferences. It could only complete
things I had already written. After seeing completion work well in another
editor I decided to dig in and try to figure out why.
Turns out that I had to learn about tag files, find the files myself and put
them in a certain folder. Not so bad. But I notice that it still doesn't work
unless I type at least 5 characters, even though I have the number set to 3 in
the preferences. For example I have to type "backg" or "text-" in a css file
before the popup comes up. In python I notice keywords don't complete.
What am I doing wrong? Geany should be able to complete keywords at a minimum,
it already has them all specified in the filedef.conf files. The basics here
should work out of the box in my opinion... for an editor as friendly as Geany.
I'd like to help, though unfortunately haven't written C/++ in many years. But,
I could certainly pack up files and check them in, make another debian package,
add tips to the preference dialog strings, etc.
How can we make the experience better?

It should probably honor the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME variable. See:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
It would seem however that someone has taken note of the standard though, as
geany uses these defaults already. Is/should there be a bug for honoring the
environment variables?

Hello:
If possible, I'd like to have a hierarchy of config dirs that geany looks
at when it starts up. We'd like to have a global repository, and
departmental config and then the user area. Right now, it looks like there
are only two places to put config files which are hard coded? (The global
share and user space ~/.config/geany) Is there an environment variable I
can set to define a list of dirs for geany to look in? Or, if anyone is
familiar with the source code, where I can look to try and add my own
changes to the source and recompile with this functionality? Or, is there
possibly a third way, by calling an 'include' or 'import' from within my
user config to load a departmental config? I'm using geany 1.23 in linux.
Thank you!
I have a problem with
Edit-> Format-> Send Selection to ->Set Custom Command
I am trying to sort some lines of text in Geany.
So I did
Edit->Format->Send Selection to->Set Custom Command
and then ->Add
I got [1.][Tick, or √ sign]
I typed 'sort' and then ->OK
The word 'sort' disappeared
And Edit->Format->Send Selection to says
"no custom commands defined"
Same thing happens if I run Geany under sudo
and whether or not I have selected some text before starting
What am I doing wrong?
I am running Geany 0.21 under Ubuntu 12.04

How do I get Geany to recognize (Linux text) files
as UTF-8 encoded?
The files in question are legacy Windows txt files,
written in French (i.e. with lots of accents)
which I have converted to mode: Unix (LF) encoding:UTF-8
by a Perl script that does
"iconv -f CP1252 -t UTF-8 --output=$tempfile $infile"
and
"dos2unix -n -f $tempfile $outfile"
It appears that if the infile has a final \x{OA} character,
then this arrives in the outfile.
I can open these files with JEdit or Kate, no problem.
But Geany's behaviour with such files is inconsistent.
Sometimes Geany refuses to do anything,
saying "... does not look like a text
file, or the file encoding is not supported",
Sometimes Geany renders the file using encoding
UTF-16 LE, which makes it look as if written in
Mandarin Chinese.
And sometimes Geany opens such 'problem' files correctly,
as UTF-8. So far as I can see, this tends to be the
case if there are already several txt files open.
I have tried putting the line /* geany_encoding=utf-8 */
as line 1 of a problem file, but that does not seem to
have any consistent effect.
The other options re encoding:
-Using the file open dialog
-Using the "Reload as" menu item
-Using the "Set encoding" menu item
are not really ideal for browsing lots and lots of files.
