how do I get the little line on the bottom indicating line number
by Ray Andrews 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

Sorry, it seems such a trivial question but here with Debian 11 and Geany 1.37.1, I can't get the line on the bottom that, in my old setup with Debian 9, just indicated the current line. I don't want the 'messages' window I don't think, it told me all sorts of things I'm not interested in. Or, is it that I want the messages window, but can control the contents? So many options!

default open directory
by Ray Andrews 28 Sep '22

How do I change the default 'open' path? I see nothing in the Preferences menus. geany.conf has the promising 'default_open_path' but setting it does nothing. Funny, the default open path that is now being used is an obscure directory that I hardly ever go to, but it won't change.

colon moves cursor 25 characters
by Ray Andrews 22 Sep '22

This is strange. I upgraded my Debian a few days ago and now Geany (1.29) insists on moving the cursor 25 characters to the right whenever I type a colon. There are none of the little dots indicating a space, nor the arrow that indicates a tab. There's just a chasm 25 characters wide. What on earth is that about?

File limit size for Geany?
by Andrew Kennedy 11 Sep '22

I opened two text files of 105Kb in size. But I could not open a third file. Is that the most that Geany can open? Thanks. Sent via personal computer It "It is always too soon to quit."

Font stylistic sets
by Guido Falsi 02 Sep '22

02 Sep '22

Hi, I was testing some new fonts (especially FiraCode [1] and Cascadia-Code [2]). As you may know these fonts allow changing their appearance with some variants by defining Stylistic Sets through some configuration, like indicated in [3], for example Does geany support defining such settings in some way? I tried to leverage GTK3 CSS via geany.css, adding something like this: ``` notebook stack widget>widget { font-feature-settings: "ss19"; } ``` I checked through `env GTK_DEBUG=interactive geany` that the css is actually seen by the running software and app[lied to the document container in the UI, but it looks like it's not affecting the font. (ss19 in Cascadia-Code should give barred zero in place of dotted zero, was just one simple change I used for testing. I could use any other of the supported variants) My selector choice was naive, though, so maybe that's the problem. Do you have any indication or this is unsupported and would require software changes? Thanks in advance.
