SnippetsKeybindings
by Geoff Kaniuk 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

Hello Geany List, I am trying to create a shortcut key to insert an in-line block. Ideally what I would like is to type Ctrl+KEY which then produces { | }. Searching through the Keybindings documentation in the Geany manual, I found that KEY=4 works, but no other alpha key works. I have made the following additions to my snippets.conf: [Special] brace_inline={ %cursor% } [Keybindings] brace_inline=<Ctrl>4 block_cursor=<Ctrl>8 [C++] bi_=%brace_inline% The <Ctrl>4 binding works. The <Ctrl>8 binding works The bi_TAB snippet works. It took quite a bit of experimenting and searching to discover the Ctrl+4 solution. I really would like to get this under my belt as key binding in snippets is a really very useful feature. My questions are: Is there somewhere an index of which keys have been allocated? Which keys I can use in [keybindings] Many thanks for any hints as to where I should be looking. -- Geoff

Mouse horizontal scroll on 1.33
by Jérôme Andanson 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hi I just upgrade Geany to 1.33 on linux mint from PPA [1]. It seem's since that version, the horizontal mouse scroll ([shift] + scroll mouse) don't scroll all document width, it scroll a bit and just stop, can't move more at right with this method, use of scrollbar is required :( Do you use this very convenient mouse scroll ? If no mistake this behavior come with 1.33, is it for everyone ? is it intended ? Is it reversable ? Thanks Jérôme A [1] http://ppa.launchpad.net/geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu xenial

There's likely something fishy > with your installation; how did you configure it? Here is the sequence of steps I originally followed to build Geany (taken from here: https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/relocatable_build): $ ./configure --enable-binreloc --prefix=/ $ make $ make install DESTDIR=/user/kklein/geany/1.33 My intention was only to install Geany to a non-default directory and I thought those were the steps to follow. I did a clean build/install of Geany using the following: setenv PATH /user/kklein/lib/intltool/0.50.2/bin:$PATH .configure --prefix=/user/kklein/geany/1.33 make make install I then built and installed the plugins using the following: setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /user/kklein/geany/1.33/lib/pkgconfig setenv PATH /user/kklein/lib/intltool/0.50.2/bin:$PATH ./configure --prefix=/user/kklein/geany/1.33 make make install And everything worked. Thanks for the help.

How do I determine if I have the development package installed as opposed to the standard glib? I searched for this but was not able to find an answer.

I tried a new build with only the following sequence of commands: setenv PATH /user/kklein/lib/intltool/0.50.2/bin:$PATH setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /user/kklein/geany/1.33/lib/pkgconfig setenv GEANY_CFLAGS -I/user/kklein/geany/1.33/include/geany ./configure --prefix=/user/kklein/geany/1.33 make The first 3 commands are necessary to prevent other errors, yet when I run "make", I still receive the following error: Making all in src make[3]: Entering directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/utils/src' CC libgeanypluginutils_la-filelist.lo filelist.c:19:18: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory #include <glib.h> ^ compilation terminated. Is there some other variable I need to set?

configuration for JSON and LaTeX
by Francisco Vico 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Hi there, After some hours dealing with the information <https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/configurebuildmenu> on how to configure the Build menu, and checking out several examples in GitHub, I did not succeed. Hope you can help me with this, cause it's the last step to make our IDE, with Geany-inside, work properly. This is what I need: The IDE is to process JSON and LaTeX files, and Geany is to validate correctness, and show an error report in the message window. With the current configuration Geany will automatically detect these filetypes and applies the customized highlighting. From this point, it is intended that Shift-F9 obtains the report by launching the right local program 'check_json' and 'check_latex', and filtering the result with a concrete regular expression. What is the [build-menu] section to have these scripts and REs in the right place when the IDE is run, such that the user just has to open the file, press Shift-F9 and get the report? Thanks in advance. francisco

I am trying to build Plugins for Geany 1.33 under RHEL 7.3. Geany was already successfully built on this machine and is installed at: /user/kklein/geany/1.33 >From the directory where the geany plugins files were extracted I ran the following commands: setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /user/kklein/geany/1.33/lib/pkgconfig setenv GLIB_CFLAGS -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 ./configure --prefix=/user/kklein/geany/1.33 --exec-prefix=/user/kklein/geany/1.33 --with-geany-libdir=/user/kklein/geany/1.33/lib make The configure step produces the following header file errors, but nothing related to glib.h: conftest.c:11:28: fatal error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory conftest.c:26:42: fatal error: CoreFoundation/CFPreferences.h: No such file or directory conftest.c:26:37: fatal error: CoreFoundation/CFLocale.h: No such file or directory conftest.c:63:18: fatal error: util.h: No such file or directory conftest.c:64:21: fatal error: libutil.h: No such file or directory Here is the make output: make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33' Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/po' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/po' Making all in utils make[2]: Entering directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/utils' Making all in src make[3]: Entering directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/utils/src' CC libgeanypluginutils_la-filelist.lo filelist.c:19:18: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory #include <glib.h> ^ compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [libgeanypluginutils_la-filelist.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/utils/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33/utils' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/user/kklein/geany-plugins-1.33' make: *** [all] Error 2 I ran the following command: cpp -v /dev/null -o /dev/null Which produced the following (truncated) output: /usr/local/include /usr/include If I run "locate glib.h", I receive the following (truncated) output: /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h Between that and my setting GLIB_CFLAGS to "-I/usr/include/glib-2.0", I am not sure why I am receiving this error. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Re: [Geany-Users] glibc relocation error when trying to run relocatable build
by Kevin Klein 09 Apr '18

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. The libraries installed on the machine I want to run Geany on are so far out of date that even jhbuild (to build a local updated version of GTK+) won't run without updating a list of dependencies. I decided it was easier to create a shell script that SSH's to the newer machine where I was able to build Geany and calls Geany from there. This allows me to run Geany on the older machine.

[geany/geany] Find popup does not update with new highlighted text without closing and reopening it. (#758)
by ken＠shail.co.uk 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

I have changed this on a local copy of 1.34 and it works fine - just one function, search_show_find_dialog had to be changed in Search.c You can leave the search widget open and highlight the next text to find. It transfers to the widget when you click find again without having to close the widget. Modified file attached if anyone wants it. I only implemented it in the basic find, not in find-replace nor find-in-files although it looks like the changes would transcribe quite easily. Compiling for Linux was straightforward and I did manage to make a windows installer using the help on https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2 That was not so straighforward ! Has anyone made the "Automated build via MAKEPKG file" yet ? The only problem that I have with only the windows build is that it crashes on help-about. Everything else looks fine. Does anyone have an idea why ? Does windows require something extra for that? K
