any way to search open filenames?
by John Gabriele 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

I have around 90 files open, and can see their filenames helpfully displayed in the Documents tab in the Sidebar (left side navigation pane). I see that each file also has a tab at the top of the editor window as well. Is there any way to search the list of open filenames? For example, suppose I want to quickly navigate to a file with "red" in the filename: I want to open some filenames / Documents search dialog, type in "red", and get back a clickable list of the filenames I have open that have "red" somewhere in their name.

Geany and PHP namespaces
by H 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

I am interested in finding a way to pull in the appropriate "use ..." namespace statement to a PHP file I am editing when adding a new class to the code. From what I understand, PHPstorm does that very nicely and I am curious if this can be replicated in a geany plugin and how much work it might be? Also, if an existing geany plugin could be used as a starting point, perhaps geanyctags?? I did use the plugin ClassBuilder to create a customized Symfony ClassBuilder for my own use so I have some, albeit quite limited, experience in modifying an existing plugin. Any thoughts?

Searching for %cursor%
by H 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Running geany 2.0 on Rocky Linux 9. I am creating new snippets but am finding that I cannot advance to the next occurrence of %cursor% after I insert the snippet, nor can I move to the previous one. The keys bound to these should be CTRL+. and CTRL-, respectively Is there something I need toric in my configuration? Thanks.

Wanted: New maintainer for Windows builds of Geany
by Enrico Tröger 04 Jan '25

04 Jan '25

Hi, we are looking for a new maintainer for the Windows builds of Geany. You want to: - continue using Geany (or start doing so) - maintain the Windows builds of Geany - support the Geany developers on creating releases - have fun with Geany's codebase, MSYS2 and Microsoft Windows and all the problems these create Your benefits: - fame and glory - happy users of Geany on Windows More seriously, while Geany is developed mostly on Linux and probably most of the user base is using Linux as well, there are also some Windows users. In the past, the Windows builds were maintained by me (eht16) but I cannot continue because I used a Windows 7 VM but Windows 7 is no longer supported by MSYS2 which the builds are based on. I will not upgrade to or use any newer version of the operating system for various reasons, so we are looking for someone who wants to take over. See also https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4189 where follow up discussions should happen. Happy new year, Enrico

INS/OVR mode on Mac
by Mark Hill 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

Hi I've struggled to find a key to toggle insert and overtype mode on a Mac laptop keyboard. I can't find it as an option in Setting/Keybindings either. Am I missing something? Have not found reference to it either via mailing list search nor in the documentation. Regards, Mark

Setting the text cursor thickness or text cursor indicator
by Doug Henderson 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

Hi Is there a way to configure the text cursor thickness or text cursor indicator in Geany 2.1? I could not find anything in the preferences, and changing the values in Win11 Settings > Accessibility > Text Cursor panel did not change the text cursor in Geany, after a restart of Geany but restarting Windows. I thought I was able to change the text cursor thickness in the version I was using prior to 2.0, but on Win10. From the Debug Messages: Geany 2.1_git_20240914021712_30f84de9a (git >= 30f84de9a), English_Canada.1252 GTK 3.24.43, GLib 2.82.0 Windows 11 23H2 ver: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4249] TIA Doug -- Doug Henderson, Calgary, Alberta, Canada - from gmail.com

Hello there, I have freshly installed geany on my void linux xfce. In my current setup, I have clang installed and I don't have gcc installed.

Compile - clang++ -std=c++17 -Wshadow -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -O2 -Wno-unused-result 2. Build - clang++ -std=c++17 -Wshadow -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -g -fsanitize=address -fsanitize=undefined -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG When I tried executing build or compile, geany threw this error - [image: image.png] Specs - Geany version - 2.0 OS - Void Linux XFCE Latest Clang - v18.1.8 I need help in setting geany for clang. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks, Avdhoot J

Auto-completion of non-alpha strings
by H 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Running geany 2.0. I'd like to extend the auto-completion to non-alpha strings such as {{ which should be auto-completed to {{ }}, or {% which should be auto-completed to {% %} etc. This does not seem to work but is there any way to get it to work?
