I have not been able to find the markdown plugin for Geany for CentOS 7 on EPEL despite a number of other plugins being available. I filed a bug report some time ago so it may eventually be resolved. In the meantime, has anyone found it in a repository or should I compile all plugins from the Geany website?

[RFC]: Does anyone use the Devhelp plugin?
by Matthew Brush 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi, I'm the author of the Devhelp plugin which allows viewing documentation in Devhelp format right within Geany as well as opening manpages. It relies on a library version that is not supported anymore (older libdevhelp), as well as it uses an outdated version of the WebKit library for GTK+. It needs a fair bit of updating to bring it to using supported libraries and supporting GTK+ 3. As I don't personally use this plugin anymore, I wanted to see if there are others who do, or who might be interested in becoming the maintainer (and updating the code). If nobody's using the plugin and nobody's interested in maintaining it, perhaps we should remove it from the Geany-Plugins project. Please tell me what you think. I'll wait a month or two at least, and if I don't hear anyone saying they use it, I will likely make a pull request to remove it from the Geany-Plugins project. If anyone is using it, it might give me motivation to update it instead of removing it. Regards, Matthew Brush

Seems it is too complicate for my trivial task with inserting comments around selection. "either that could be expanded" - could you explain how it could be done?

Geany hangs after 30 minutes of work
by Vladimir Avshtolis 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hello I have Linux 4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64 and xfce Due a few years I used quanta+ editor for PHP and html programming. But it becomes too heavy with every upgrading of system with considering of not wide functionality so I decided to look for alternatives. Geany looked good but unfortunately after 30-60 minutes of using it starts work slowly and in 5 minutes after hangs at all (positive that without hanging of rest system). This issue repeated few times and I decided to ask advice here. Can I do something or under linux really no gui alternatives (like notepad++ under windows) for fast and easy programming? -- BR Vladimir Avshtolis

Inserting html around selection
by Vladimir Avshtolis 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

Hello With previous editor I had possibility to assign really useful functions for hotkeys. For example for hotkey ctrl-a I assigned insertion of pair <a href='' class=''> and </a> around selection (or even without selection). ctrl-/ inserted for me comment tags  around selection and so on. Is it possible to do like this with the Geany ? (I tried addon xml tagging - it is not like this because impossible to insert non symmetrical tags). Thank you -- BR Vladimir Avshtolis

Hi, I am not using it. I am new to C programming. It may help me in future. I am not sure right now, how much it will be helpful for me or the developers like me. It would be great if someone can support it. I wish I would be able to support this. :( Regards Neeraj Verma On Sat, 20 Jan 2018 at 14:30 <users-request(a)lists.geany.org> wrote: > Send Users mailing list submissions to > users(a)lists.geany.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > users-request(a)lists.geany.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > users-owner(a)lists.geany.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Symbols in bash scripts
by Nedyalko Radev 18 Jan '18

Hello, I am wondering how Geany determines bash functions as symbols and shows them in left sidebar? Is it possible to do the same for other types of files, if it is something which could be configured? Regards, Ned.

debugger not debugging
by j.dunn＠piments.com 07 Jan '18

07 Jan '18

HI, I am having trouble getting geany-scope to step and debug a simple test file. Full description here: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1461#issuecomment-355559491 I have applied the patch to fix scope locking up. But when I run the executable for debugging I don't get the usual debug functions ( step etc ) enabled, only terminate. I get the impression that it is not connecting to gdb but don't see any output showning an error or enabling determination of the problem. I have no prior experience with this debugger since it used to lock-up. Could be finger trouble or something not correctly set up. Any suggestions of where to look. thanks.
