cannot run multiple execute commands
by Jan Alster 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Hi, I would like to ask for help with following issue. I have recently switched to new Debian system and now I cannot run multiple python scripts from Geany (via F5) at the same time. On my previous system I could run many and the spawned terminals were open as long as the scripts were running (pressing F5 the second time seemingly detached the terminal from Geany and third press of F5 could start a new script in a new terminal). Now the spawned terminal closes immediately after pressing F5 second time (and it kills python even if it is not finished). strace shows that the terminal gets SIGTERM from Geany. Is that a new feature? I cannot find a way how to keep the terminal running. Thanks, Jan

vertical line spacing, line_height, filetypes.common
by John Gabriele 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi, I'd like to increase the vertical spacing between lines. I found this issue <https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1592>, and so went to "Tools --> Configuration Files --> filetypes.common", but changes I make and save there don't seem to have any effect. So, a few questions: 1. What is the syntax for this config file? Does a leading space indicate a comment? Do I need the pound sign or remove it? 2. What are the units for the line spacing (line_height). Pixels? 3. How do I get my changes here to take affect? Thanks, -- John

Re: [Geany-Users] Activating plugins via BASH scripts
by Robert L. Miers PE 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hi Lex Thanks for the info. I've successfully accomplished the task. Activated all of my choices and then edited the Geany.conf file and copied the "active_plugin" line text and then inserted it my script with a sed command. Cleared the active plugin line and ran the script and when finished I opened Geany and check the Tools. Several of my choices added items to the Tools dropdown. When I looked at the Plugin Manager, all of my choices showed check marks. As a follow-up, is there a way to mark some of the plugin options via BASH. I.E. the spellcheck behavior "Check spelling while typing"? Anyway, Thanks again Bob Robert L.

Activating plugins via BASH scripts
by Robert L. Miers PE 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all For several years, I have used Raspberry PIs as a platform. Over this time frame I have developed a series of BASH scripts to configure the Debian OS to include my choice of additional apts. So far Ive been successful saving my current developer snippets info and my templates and then inserting them back into Geany once the new OS is running. Currently during the install of my extra stuff, I now installing the plugins, but have to use Geany itself to activate my choices. What I now want to accomplish is to have the BASH script activate my choices I have been unsuccessful in finding where and how to do this task. If someone can point me to this information, It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob Robert L.

Color configurstion in Geany
by Carl Caulkett 25 May '20

25 May '20

I’ve just installed Geany, have downloaded the Geany themes and have selected the Solarized (Dark) scheme. Now I would like to be able to adjust the colors of the surrounding elements of Geany, the toolbar, the side panel, the terminal panel and so on, but I cannot figure out a way to do this. I had hoped that editing `geany.css` might be involved, but it’s not clear (to me, at least!) if this is the case. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks!

Search background color
by Jim 24 May '20

24 May '20

Using Geany 1.36 on Linux Mint 18.3 I am writing mostly Python code. When I do a Ctrl-f to popup a search box the background color on the highlighted term is a light gray that is hard for me to spot easily. Is there a way to change the background color to something that is easier to see? Thanks, Jim

Autocomplete?
by Jim 17 May '20

17 May '20

Using Geany 1.36 I have these checked in preferences: Auto completion of multiline comments Auto complete symbols Auto complete all words in the document Chars to type = 3 In my script I have a function named apply_colors. When I type appl This is the list I see. application_uri applies_to apply apply_async apply_colors apply_filter The only item in the list that appears in my script is apply_colors. I am curious how autocomplete comes up with the words it shows in the list. I am wondering if there is a way to have a more concise list of possibilities. As it is now I would have to type apply_c before apply_colors could be inserted without using the mouse. Thanks, Jim

Jim You might find that the code snippets option might be more useful in your case. For example, define a snippet: ac="apply_colors" and now anytime you type ac<tab_key> apply_colors will appear in your code. I find it very useful, especialy when I want to insert multiline boiler plate code or comments.

Question about quotes
by Jim 07 May '20

07 May '20

OS is Linux Mint 18.3 Been using Geany for about a month now and over all I like it a lot. I have noticed some unexpected results when auto completing quotes. When I type a ' or a " I get either ''' or """ I would expect getting two quotes with the cursor setting between them. Is this the expected result or have I got a setting wrong? Thanks, Jim
