Fwd: Turn off brace matching
by Terry Scheingeld 08 Apr '18

08 Apr '18

Is there a way to turn off brace matching in Geany? I'm afraid I find it very distracting when suddenly the brace next to my cursor starts blinking while I'm typing.

Hilight current line while searching
by Jérôme Andanson 07 Apr '18

07 Apr '18

Hi All I use Geany 1.32 on linux mint, i want to found a way to highlight the line where the needle is found while using searching tools. It seem's the highlighting is only applied when editor have focus, and in this case, focus is on the search window. Maybe having another indicator like an arrow near line number will be useful. Thanks Jérôme

glibc relocation error when trying to run relocatable build
by Kevin Klein 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

I want to run Geany on a system running Redhat Enterprise Server 6.7. Many of the dependent libraries are out of date, so I built the executable from the same shared directory while logged in to another machine running RHES 7.3 using the “Relocatable GNU/Linux Build” instructions found on this page: https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/relocatable_build I also copied all required libraries using the script listed at the bottom of the page. When I try to run Geany on the RHES 6.7 machine, I receive the following error: geany: relocation error: /user/kklein/geany/1.33/bin/../lib/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 with link time reference What do I need to do to make my relocatable build use the correct version of glibc? Do I just need to install a newer version of glib on the RHES 6.7 machine? Thanks Kevin

problems with certain colors in Black Scheme (black.conf)
by bendov＠gmx.com 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Using geany 1.27 in Mint 18.1 I tried out the black.conf theme to reduce screen brightness (https://github.com/codebrainz/geany-themes/tree/master/colorschemes). I see the updated "*delt-dark.conf*" theme also has several of the same issues I've described below. Which is, in Geany - maybe all editors, using dark background schemes, certain highlighting, searching, "go to line" colors don't allow good contrast between code text colors & the highlight or "found" colors. Generally, the search or highlight colors work OK except a few. Where in a light theme, the problems don't exist. I'm not sure if these instructions are still 100% correct for >= v1.27, or if I'm missing something. At least 2 problems are the color of the marked line, when use Search > In Document, then click a found instance in the message pane (the lower panel). In a light theme, I tried several colors that all worked well for this & didn't totally obscure certain colored text. In the black theme, I haven't found any color for this, that doesn't obscure / mostly obscure text that's close to the (background; hilight??) color, where in light themes, it's not a problem. I believe black theme's author originally used marker_line=#ff208c;#80d4b2;false;false --> where #80d4b2 is a dark, minty green. 1) 1st, why does the color - highlighting the entire line show at all, when *both* arguments are false? 2) "marker_line" instructions say, the foreground color (1st argument) are only used for "show marker margins" - in View menu. Ok. Alluding the 2nd argument is the highlighted line color. The SECOND color is the one I can't find any color (in a black background theme), nor any "marker_translucency" setting that WON'T obscure one or more syntax colors. If I choose the lightest yellow #fffffe, white syntax is "visible" but not readable. When I click a found instance in the message pane, that's when the highlighted line(s) are partly obscured. But using Search > Mark, the background color is translucent enough to read either light or dark text colors. It seems VERY hard w/ black themes, to find a color for Search > "mark", that shows well for *both* light & dark text (in a black BG theme). Translucency doesn't seem to work for marker_line - using menu - View > go to line, or click a found line # in the message pane. That's when any color used will obscure some text & make others hard to read. Isn't the idea for dark backgrounds better visibility (& less glare)? 3) "current_line=" highlighting doesn't seem to work well on black backgrounds. Choosing the lightest shade of any color only allows the most highly contrasting text to show. In dark themes, it seems almost impossible to choose a color that contrasts w/ light & dark text, allowing both to show through. But in *light* background themes (& other text editors) highlighting the current line works well on light AND dark text. Because the highlight color (say, bright yellow) in light colored themes is translucent enough to let very pale text colors show through. Why won't it work in Geany on black background themes? In Geany, using black themes, current_line highlight (pale or bold colors) doesn't seem to be a highlight; rather a very solid, almost foreground color that only highest contrasting text is readable. Thanks. > # Editor styles > #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > #marker_line= Style for a highlighted line (e.g using Goto line or > goto symbol).

Geany markdown plugin
by H 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

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?
