[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

no Terminal tab in Geany preferences??
by Marco Bianchi 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

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 [image: Inline image 1]

How to Set Custom Commands in Geany
by Kostas Dimakis 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hello, I am new to Geany and i am learning how to use its features according to its manual. I got a bit stuck right here http://www.geany.org/manual/#sending-text-through-custom-commands . While i am trying to add a new custom command through Edit->Send Selection to->Set Custom Commands menu, when i "OK", the command doesn't show up. It's as it never gets saved or sth. What am i doing wrong? + Some examples on where this feature should be used would be much appreciated.

Excellent, thanks. Do you roughly how long it takes for the Ubuntu packages to appear? I've tried compiling from the source but I get a couple of problems with pkg-config which are beyond my knowledge to solve. Cliff

a snippet for the %cursor%
by Sean Noble 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Hi, I am trying to add a snippet for %cursor% in the [Defaults] snippet area. cur=%snippets% This does not work as the %cursor% is transformed to the cursor location when hitting tab. I am looking for an escape sequence, something like: cur=%%snippet%% or cur=\%cursor\%, such that a literal %cursor% is left after transforming. Those two examples don't work, but perhaps there is a way? Thanks!

Change Home key to "Go to Beginning of Display Line"
by Cliff Laine 23 Jun '13

Is this possible? The "Home" keybinding currently defaults to "Go to Start of Line" There is no option in the Preferences > Keybindings to add "Go to Start of Display Line". Cliff

Apologies for having wasted your time in directing me to something that is there clear as a bell in Geany's preferences. I thought it was system-wide so was looking (unsuccessfully) in KDE's keyboard shortcuts. Cliff

No effect from using Tcl keyword list "expand"
by Arpit 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Hello I tried to add keys to the empty list "expand". However, this did not produce any highlighting effect for the keys. The styles I tried changing were "wordexpand" and "expand", but neither produced the desired effect, which is to have the keys under the "expand" list highlighted in a particular style. The aim of this exercise is to expand highlighting support for OpenSEES, which uses tcl as a front-end scripting language to generate and analyze structural models. I would like to add the OpenSEES specific commands under the "expand" list to highlight them in a different style from normal tcl/tk commands. I have tried the exercise using two methods: first define a custom filetypes.OpenSEES.conf, and second using a user-copy of filetypes.tcl. Does not work using either approach. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

End key = Go to RH window edge, not line end
by Cliff Laine 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hello Geany people Is there a way of writing a snippet which would take the cursor to that part of the line which is at the RH window edge? I.e., to modify the behaviour of the "End" key to make it go to the RH window edge rather than the end of the line? I notice that this was raised on the list in January 2009 http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.editors.geany.general/month=20090601/page=8 In this thread, Heiko Studt commented on the apparent impossibility of swapping the "End" and "Alt+End" keybindings. Is this still the case? Alt+End is possibly one of the most difficult key combinations to press without taking one's eyes off the screen. I would very much rather use a simple "End". Thank you an excellent editor, btw. I have been using EditPlus under Wine for a few years and didn't think I'd find anything better. Cliff
