Re: linefeed character

Hi Ray, On 13.10.22 20:12, Ray Andrews wrote: > I just turned on the 'show linefeed' option and it used to be a very > discrete symbol of a 'return' icon, now it's "LF" backlit in a white > box. Can I get the symbol back? The line ending symbol is rendered by the Scintilla editing component, an external library. Maybe it has been changed in some Scintilla version in the past. Do you remember in which Geany version you saw that other symbol? Anyway, we cannot change the icon as said it is rendered by Scintilla. Regards, Enrico P.S.: please don't hijack other threads.

Adding another "language"
by Willi Egger 15 Oct '22

15 Oct '22

Good evening! I am new to this list… The other day I detected Geany and immediately tried it out. — It appears, that this editor is precisely offering what I need and it is available on all platforms I use. I like the interface! Now of course I would like to customise Geany to my work-environment. Geany comes with LaTeX support, but there is no support for ConTeXt. Because I am a ConTeXt user I would like to get Geany to do the same for this environment as it does for LaTeX. I tried to find out how to achieve this. — So far without success. I have copied the file filetypes.latex to the ./config/geany/filetypes directory. I renamed the file to filetypes.ConTeXt.conf and edited it by replacing the keywords by those for ConTeXt and rebuilding the build-menu. Further I copied the file_extensions.conf to the ./config/geany/filetypes directory and edited it. I commented all lines and added ConTeXt=*.tex;*.mkiv;*.mkvi. — After restarting the editor it appears, that it still loads the filetype.latex file resulting in the fact, that also the build-menue is that one from LaTeX. Further I tried to rename the LaTeX related files in order to prevent Geany to load them. — As an effect I see a built menue with only the make… lines, indicating, that my filetypes.ConTeXt.conf is not loaded. Sorry for the long story, but what do I need to do to get this working? Best regard Willi

Can we add items to the 'Open File' left pane? I'd like to add a few standard directories there if possible.

Trying to adjust indent spaces in filetypes.javascript
by Chase Adams 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hello, I am trying to set my javascript-only indent spaces to 2 in the filetypes.javascript file while keeping the GUI-adjusted default of 4 for other filetypes, but I can’t seem to get it to work. So far I have opened the filetypes.javascript file and uncommented the following lines: [indentation] width=2 type=0 I have then reloaded the configurations, but my indentations are not the correct length. Could someone please advise? Maybe I need to enable something to read the javascript configuration file? I am on OSX if that matters. Thanks!

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

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

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

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."
